[midPoint] "Asynchronous" web service invocation

[Radovan Semancik]

Hi Samu,

We registered a feature request for asynchronous provisioning for quite 
a long time. We have started tracking it in jira:

https://jira.evolveum.com/browse/MID-2457

This would be a really nice feature. We have started from synchronous 
operations as this is much easier to implement and maintain. But 
asynchronous processing is part of the original design and there is 
nothing in the midPoint architecture that prohibits asynchronous 
operations. We have several proofs of concept for that. E.g. import from 
resource is already implemented as asynchronous operation.

Personally I would very much like to see this feature implemented as 
soon as possible. However, no midPoint subscriber or contributor has yet 
pledged his money or time in favor of this feature. See here:
