Hello

I'd like to announce new minor releases of Pax Web: 8.0.16 and 9.0.5.

Current runtime versions are:

   - Jetty 9.4.50.v20221201 (8.0.x) and 10.0.13 (9.0.x)
   - Tomcat 9.0.72
   - Undertow 2.2.23.Final

Another corner case was solved when WAB, Whiteboard and HttpService
registered web elements were registered into the same target context (a
case originally called "Where is JSF Support?").

A feature from Pax Web 7 is back - now both WebContainer (an extension to
standard HttpService) and Whiteboard (this is new - there was no such
option in Pax Web 7) can be used to register security configuration:

   - login config
   - security constraints
   - security roles

A new whiteboard-security sample was added here:
https://github.com/ops4j/org.ops4j.pax.web/tree/web-8.0.16/samples/samples-whiteboard/whiteboard-security

And finally I've reviewed Pax Web 7 support for Keycloak. In Pax Web 7 it
worked only in Undertow runtime (mostly due to problems on Keycloak side).
Now there are new Karaf features that ensure that Pax Web 8/9 can integrate
with Keycloak 18 (which contains something called "Fuse Adapters") and
Keycloak 20 (where "Fuse Adapters" were removed). These features are:

   - pax-web-jetty-keycloak18
   - pax-web-tomcat-keycloak18
   - pax-web-undertow-keycloak18
   - pax-web-jetty-keycloak20
   - pax-web-tomcat-keycloak20
   - pax-web-undertow-keycloak20

The "keycloak18" features are designed to work with Keycloak 18.0.x and
require this feature repository:
"mvn:org.keycloak/keycloak-osgi-features/18.0.3/xml/features"

The "keycloak20" features do NOT require Keycloak features (because
Keycloak 19 has them removed) and Pax Web itself repackages proper Keycloak
libraries (because not all of them are proper OSGi bundles).

If you want to know more about how I tested Pax Web with Keycloak, please
look at the readme files:

   -
   
https://github.com/ops4j/org.ops4j.pax.web/blob/web-8.0.16/pax-web-keycloak18/readme.adoc
   -
   
https://github.com/ops4j/org.ops4j.pax.web/blob/web-8.0.16/pax-web-keycloak20/readme.adoc

For completeness, the changelogs is available for 8.0.16[1] and 9.0.5[2].

kind regards
Grzegorz Grzybek
