[midPoint] Email Notification

[Pavol Mederly]

Hello Jason,

well, the notification mechanism is quite universal and flexible. The 
amount of work required depends on what you want to achieve.

Technically:

 1. there are some standard notifiers
    (SimpleUserNotifier/SimpleFocalObjectNotifier,
    SimpleResourceObjectNotifier, SimpleWorkflowNotifier,
    UserPasswordNotifier, AccountPasswordNotifier) that provide specific
    kinds of notifications related to users/orgs/roles, resource objects
    (accounts, groups, OUs, ...), work items and workflow processes;
    and, specially, to notify about user & account passwords,
 2. besides that, you can send any notification you like - there is so
    called GeneralNotifier that can be scripted to include anything in
    the message subject, body and recipient addresses.

If you want to do "something like" one of existing specific notifiers 
does (but not exactly that), you have a couple of options:

 1. If you can work with Java, you can easily take any of these
    notifiers, copy it into your own class, and change it as you wish.
    It is not a big problem.
 2. If you don't want to work with Java, you can try to use
    GeneralNotifier with custom scripts. It can be a bit of work,
    however - depending on how sophisticated your notifications should
    be. The hardest part (generating a description of object or change
    attributes) was provided as MID-2045
    <https://jira.evolveum.com/browse/MID-2045> recently; but actually
    we haven't tested nor documented that feature yet.

BTW, where is /"Fully customizable forms" for 3.1 Release/ mentioned? I 
haven't seen that in the wiki.

Hope this helps,
Pavol
