ExampleSpi[[_extensions]]
== Extending the server
The {project_name} SPI framework offers the possibility to implement or override particular built-in providers. However {project_name}
also provides capabilities to extend its core functionalities and domain. This includes possibilities to:
* Add custom REST endpoints to the {project_name} server
* Add your own custom SPI
* Add custom JPA entities to the {project_name} data model
[[_extensions_rest]]
=== Add custom REST endpoints
This is a very powerful extension, which allows you to deploy your own REST endpoints to the {project_name} server. It enables all kinds of extensions, for example
the possibility to trigger functionality on the {project_name} server, which is not available through the default set of built-in {project_name} REST endpoints.
To add a custom REST endpoint, you need to implement the `RealmResourceProviderFactory` and `RealmResourceProvider` interfaces. `RealmResourceProvider` has one important method:
[source,java]
----
Object getResource();
----
Use this method to return an object, which acts as a https://github.com/jax-rs[JAX-RS Resource].
Your JAX-RS resource is only recognized by the server and registered as a valid endpoint if it includes the following configuration:
- adding an empty file named `beans.xml` under `META-INF`
- annotating the JAX-RS class with the annotation `jakarta.ws.rs.ext.Provider`.
For details on how to package and deploy a custom provider, refer to the <<_providers,Service Provider Interfaces>> chapter.
NOTE: While it is possible to install other JAX-RS components via the providers extension mechanism, such as filters and interceptors, these are not officially supported.
[[_extensions_spi]]
=== Add your own custom SPI
A custom SPI is especially useful with Custom REST endpoints. Use this procedure to add your own SPI
.Procedure
. implement the interface `org.keycloak.provider.Spi` and define the ID of your SPI and the `ProviderFactory` and `Provider` classes. That looks like this:
+
[source,java]
----
public class ExampleSpi implements Spi {
@Override
public boolean isInternal() {
return false;
}
@Override
public String getName() {
return "example";
}
@Override
public Class<? extends Provider> getProviderClass() {
return ExampleService.class;
}
@Override
@SuppressWarnings("rawtypes")
public Class<? extends ProviderFactory> getProviderFactoryClass() {
return ExampleServiceProviderFactory.class;
}
}
----
. Create the file `META-INF/services/org.keycloak.provider.Spi` and add the class of your SPI to it. For example:
+
[source]
----
ExampleSpi
----
. Create the interfaces `ExampleServiceProviderFactory`, which extends from `ProviderFactory` and `ExampleService`, which extends from `Provider`.
The `ExampleService` will usually contain the business methods you need for your use case. Note that the `ExampleServiceProviderFactory` instance
is always scoped per application, however `ExampleService` is scoped per-request (or more accurately per `KeycloakSession` lifecycle).
. Finally you need to implement your providers in the same manner as described in the <<_providers,Service Provider Interfaces>> chapter.

[[_extensions_jpa]]
=== Add custom JPA entities to the {project_name} data model
If the {project_name} data model does not exactly match your desired solution, or if you want to add some core functionality to {project_name},
or when you have your own REST endpoint, you might want to extend the {project_name} data model. We enable you to add your
own JPA entities to the {project_name} JPA `EntityManager` .
To add your own JPA entities, you need to implement `JpaEntityProviderFactory` and `JpaEntityProvider`. The `JpaEntityProvider`
allows you to return a list of your custom JPA entities and provide the location and id of the Liquibase changelog. An example implementation can look like this:
NOTE: This is an unsupported API, which means you can use it but there is no guarantee that it will not be removed or changed without warning.
[source,java]
----
public class ExampleJpaEntityProvider implements JpaEntityProvider {
// List of your JPA entities.
@Override
public List<Class<?>> getEntities() {
return Collections.<Class<?>>singletonList(Company.class);
}
// This is used to return the location of the Liquibase changelog file.
// You can return null if you don't want Liquibase to create and update the DB schema.
@Override
public String getChangelogLocation() {
return "META-INF/example-changelog.xml";
}
// Helper method, which will be used internally by Liquibase.
@Override
public String getFactoryId() {
return "sample";
}
...
}
----
In the example above, we added a single JPA entity represented by class `Company`. In the code of your REST endpoint, you can then use something like
this to retrieve `EntityManager` and call DB operations on it.
[source,java]
----
EntityManager em = session.getProvider(JpaConnectionProvider.class).getEntityManager();
Company myCompany = em.find(Company.class, "123");
----
The methods `getChangelogLocation` and `getFactoryId` are important to support automatic updating of your entities by Liquibase. https://www.liquibase.com/community/contributors[Liquibase]
is a framework for updating the database schema, which {project_name} internally uses to create the DB schema and update the DB schema among versions. You may need to use
it as well and create a changelog for your entities. Note that versioning of your own Liquibase changelog is independent
of {project_name} versions. In other words, when you update to a new {project_name} version, you are not forced to update your
schema at the same time. And vice versa, you can update your schema even without updating the {project_name} version. The Liquibase update
is always done at the server startup, so to trigger a DB update of your schema, you just need to add the new changeset to your Liquibase changelog file (in the example above
it's the file `META-INF/example-changelog.xml` which must be packed in same JAR as the JPA entities and `ExampleJpaEntityProvider`) and then restart server.
The DB schema will be automatically updated at startup.
NOTE: Don't forget to always back up your database before doing any changes in the Liquibase changelog and triggering a DB update.
