    <para>
        Keycloak is designed to cover most use-cases without requiring custom code, but we also want it to be
        customizable. To achive this Keycloak has a number of SPIs which you can implement your own providers for.

    <section>
        <title>Implementing a SPI</title>
        <para>
            To implement an SPI you need to implement it's ProviderFactory and Provider interfaces. You also need to
            create a provider-configuration file. For example to implement the Event Listener SPI you need to implement
            EventListenerProviderFactory and EventListenerProvider and also provide the file
            <literal>META-INF/services/org.keycloak.events.EventListenerProviderFactory</literal>
        </para>
        <para>
            For example to implement the Event Listener SPI you start by implementing EventListenerProviderFactory:
<programlisting><![CDATA[{
package org.acme.provider;

import ...

public class MyEventListenerProviderFactory implements EventListenerProviderFactory {

    private List<Event> events;

    public String getId() {
        return "my-event-listener";
    }

    public void init(Config.Scope config) {
        int max = config.getInt("max");
        events = new MaxList(max);
    }

    public EventListenerProvider create(KeycloakSession session) {
        return new MyEventListenerProvider(events);
    }

    public void close() {
        events = null;
    }

}
}]]></programlisting>
            The example uses an imagined MaxList which has a maximum size and is concurrency safe. When the maximum size is reached
            and new entries are added the oldest entry is removed. Keycloak creates a single instance of
            EventListenerProviderFactory which makes it possible to store state for multiple requests. EventListenerProvider
            instances are created by calling create on the factory for each requests so these should be light-weight.
        </para>
        <para>
            Next you would implement EventListenerProvider:
<programlisting><![CDATA[{
package org.acme.provider;

import ...

public class MyEventListenerProvider implements EventListenerProvider {

    private List<Event> events;

    public MyEventListenerProvider(List<Event> events) {
        this.events = events;
    }

    @Override
    public void onEvent(Event event) {
        events.add(event);
    }

    @Override
    public void close() {

    }

}
}]]></programlisting>
        </para>
        <para>
            The file <literal>META-INF/services/org.keycloak.events.EventListenerProviderFactory</literal> should
            contain the full name of your ProviderFactory implementation:
<programlisting><![CDATA[org.acme.provider.MyEventListenerProviderFactory]]></programlisting>
        </para>
    </section>

    <section>
        <title>Registering provider implementations</title>
        <para>
            Keycloak can load provider implementations from JBoss Modules or directly from the file-system. Using Modules
            is recommended as you can control exactly what classes are available to your provider. Any providers loaded
            from the file-system uses a classloader with the Keycloak classloader as its parent.
        </para>

        <section>
            <title>Register a provider using Modules</title>
            <para>
                To register a provider using Modules first create a module. To do this you can either use the jboss-cli
                script or manually create a folder inside KEYCLOAK_HOME/modules and add your jar and a <literal>module.xml</literal>.
                For example to add the event listener sysout example provider using the jboss-cli script execute:
<programlisting><![CDATA[{
    KEYCLOAK_HOME/bin/jboss-cli.sh --command="module add --name=org.keycloak.examples.event-sysout --resources=target/event-listener-sysout-example.jar --dependencies=org.keycloak.keycloak-core,org.keycloak.keycloak-model-api,org.keycloak.keycloak-events-api"
}]]></programlisting>
                Or to manually create it start by creating the folder <literal>KEYCLOAK_HOME/modules/org/keycloak/examples/event-sysout/main</literal>.
                Then copy <literal>event-listener-sysout-example.jar</literal> to this folder and create <literal>module.xml</literal>
                with the following content:
<programlisting><![CDATA[{
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.1" name="org.keycloak.examples.event-sysout">
    <resources>
        <resource-root path="event-listener-sysout-example.jar"/>
    </resources>
    <dependencies>
        <module name="org.keycloak.keycloak-core"/>
        <module name="org.keycloak.keycloak-model-api"/>
        <module name="org.keycloak.keycloak-events-api"/>
    </dependencies>
</module>
}]]></programlisting>
            </para>
            <para>
                Once you've created the module you need to register this module with Keycloak. This is done by editing
                keycloak-server.json and adding it to the providers:
<programlisting><![CDATA[{
    "providers": [
        ...
        "module:org.keycloak.examples.event-sysout"
    ]
}]]></programlisting>
            </para>
        </section>


        <section>
            <title>Register a provider using file-system</title>
            <para>
                To register your provider simply copy the JAR including the ProviderFactory and Provider classes and the
                provider configuration file to <literal>standalone/configuration/providers</literal>.
            </para>
            <para>
                You can also define multiple provider class-path if you want to create isolated class-loaders. To do this
                edit keycloak-server.json and add more classpath entries to the providers array. For example:
<programlisting><![CDATA[{
    "providers": [
        "classpath:provider1.jar;lib-v1.jar",
        "classpath:provider2.jar;lib-v2.jar"
    ]
}]]></programlisting>
                The above example will create two separate class-loaders for providers. The classpath entries follow the
                same syntax as Java classpath, with ';' separating multiple-entries. Wildcard is also supported allowing
                loading all jars (files with .jar or .JAR extension) in a folder, for example:
<programlisting><![CDATA[{
    "providers": [
        "classpath:/home/user/providers/*"
    ]
}]]></programlisting>
            </para>
        </section>

        <section>
            <title>Configuring a provider</title>
            <para>
                You can pass configuration options to your provider by setting them in <literal>keycloak-server.json</literal>.
                For example to set the max value for <literal>my-event-listener</literal> add:
<programlisting><![CDATA[{
    "eventsListener": {
        "my-event-listener": {
            "max": 100
        }
    }
}]]></programlisting>
            </para>
        </section>
