8.6.5. Creating a Resource Using the Protection API

// create a new instance based on the configuration defined in keycloak.json
AuthzClient authzClient = AuthzClient.create();

// create a new resource representation with the information we want
ResourceRepresentation newResource = new ResourceRepresentation();

newResource.setName("New Resource");
newResource.setType("urn:hello-world-authz:resources:example");

newResource.addScope(new ScopeRepresentation("urn:hello-world-authz:scopes:view"));

ProtectedResource resourceClient = authzClient.protection().resource();
ResourceRepresentation existingResource = resourceClient.findByName(newResource.getName());

if (existingResource != null) {
    resourceClient.delete(existingResource.getId());
}

// create the resource on the server
ResourceRepresentation response = resourceClient.create(newResource);
String resourceId = response.getId();

// query the resource using its newly generated id
ResourceRepresentation resource = resourceClient.findById(resourceId);

System.out.println(resource);
