[midPoint] Parsing Dates in Inbound Mapping

[Pavol Mederly]

Hello Matt,

I assume you get something like "unknown variable 'birthdate'" 
exception. When creating inbound mappings, you refer to the incoming 
value (from the resource) via "input" variable.

So your line should be something like Date.parse(..., input).
