[midPoint] Workflow API access

[Pavol Mederly]

Hello Elijah,

work item approval or rejection is currently possible only via local 
Java API. (Implemented as WorkflowService interface.)

We plan to implement remote access to this functionality in forthcoming 
version 3.4, along with some changes in internal workflow data 
structures. It is feasible for you to wait for this release, or you'd 
need it sooner?

It could be implemented immediately by adding respective wrapper methods 
to ModelRestService and ModelCrudService, copying e.g. task-related 
methods (suspendTasks, etc). But as I said, the respective data 
structures will slightly change in 3.4, so the clients will have to be - 
very probably - adapted as well.

Best regards,
Pavol
