[midPoint] Issue while uploading resource xml

Tue Apr 8 16:36:04 CEST 2014

Hi Nitin,

The answer is a bit tricky but it is essentially "yes".

MidPoint can synchronize resource objects (on resource side) with 
anything that is subclass of FocusType (on midPoint side). The object on 
midPoint side has to be subclass of FocusType beause this type has the 
data items that are necessary to keep the track of synchronization 
(linkRef, assignment).

But object definitions in midPoint are fairly static. We need this to 
accomplish our strategy of getting a lot of features out of the box. We 
also need this for database optimization and therefore also scalability. 
There is a GenericObjectType that can be used to represent a new types 
of objects. But this one is *not* subclass of FocusType as we didn't 
want to limit the extensibility possibilities.

However there is an elegant solution. MidPoint has RoleType and OrgType 
which represent role and organization unit respectively. However the 
RoleType and OrgType concepts in midPoint are much more generic that you 
are probably used to. Role is designed to represent a lot of different 
things not just the "role proper". E.g. a role can represent an access 
privilege, employee work position, physical access clearance and so on. 
OrgType can prepresent project, team, workgroup and so on. So I suggest 
that you can represent your AccessObject as a midPoint Role. You can 
place all your custom data items in role <extension> part and you will 
gain all the existing advantages of roles (e.g. authorizations).

We have been thinking about adding some kind of GenericFocusType to 
midPoint. But as RoleType and OrgType are such a nice and generic 
concepts we have actually been able to model all the case by just using 
these two. But in case these concepts do not suit your needs please let 
me know. We can reconsider the GenericFocusType idea.

(BTW, generic synchronization is a feature of midPoint 3.0 which is 
scheduled to be released in May. Therefore all of this applies to 
version 3.0)
