Getting KeyCloakContext From ServletRequest

When REST APIs are protected with keycloak authentication, we might need to get user realm in the backend to get some user information.

In the ServletRequestFilter implementation,

public class ApplicationFilter implements Filter {

private Base64 decoder = new Base64(true);

        @Inject

ServletRequestHolder requestHolder;

@Override

public void doFilter(ServletRequest req, ServletResponse resp, FilterChain chain)

throws IOException, ServletException {

try {

checkAuthentication(req);

....

//TODO

}

/**

* Get the logged in user info from the request.

* 

* @param request

*/

private void checkAuthentication(ServletRequest request) {

HttpServletRequest httpServletRequest = (HttpServletRequest) request;

KeycloakSecurityContext kContext = (KeycloakSecurityContext) httpServletRequest

.getAttribute(KeycloakSecurityContext.class.getName());

String bearerToken;

if (kContext != null) {

bearerToken = kContext.getTokenString();

String[] jwtToken = bearerToken.split("\\.");

byte[] decodedClaims = decoder.decode(jwtToken[1]);

JSONObject jsonObj = new JSONObject(new String(decodedClaims));

.....

//TODO

}

Supporting hibernate precision/scale for BigDecimal with MySql

When we use BigDecimal in our POJOs, we define the precision /scale  values for it to make sure how many digits database column has to allocate to represent the values. MySql does not support the scale more than 2 digits, we can have only  19/2 for BigDecimal Data types.

@Column(name = "metre" ,precision = 19, scale = 10)
private BigDecimal metre = BigDecimal.ZERO;

To overcome this issue, we can convert BigDecimal datatype to Double when we store the values. JPA provides @Convert annotation which can be used to convert datatypes .

Eg: 

@Convert(converter = BigDecimalConverter.class)

private  BigDecimal metre = BigDecimal.ZERO;

We need to write a custom converter for this.

Converter

import java.math.BigDecimal;

import javax.persistence.AttributeConverter;

import javax.persistence.Converter;

@Converter

public class BigDecimalConverter implements AttributeConverter {

@Override

public Double convertToDatabaseColumn(BigDecimal bigDecimalValue) {

if (bigDecimalValue == null) {

return null;

}

return bigDecimalValue.doubleValue();

}

@Override

public BigDecimal convertToEntityAttribute(Double doubleValue) {

if (doubleValue == null) {

return null;

}

return BigDecimal.valueOf(doubleValue);

}

}
