[midPoint] Setting object template on createOnDemand role

[Radovan Semancik]

Hi,

The answer is "no". It is not possible now. At least not simply. Maybe 
using some scripting hooks to manipulate the model context and replace 
active object template could be used. But that would require quite a 
deep understanding of midPoint internals and would not be very clean and 
maintainable code anyway.

However, I see a value your proposal and it could be a nice little 
feature. Not sure about the implementation effort right now ... the 
createOnDemand is in fact executing a new operation (on demand create) 
within another operation. Therefore it is not entirely trivial. But it 
should not be that difficult either.

Anyway, currently the team is quite busy. Therefore we cannot make it 
"for free". But if you would consider sponsoring this feature then we 
still can shuffle the priorities a bit and it can fit into 3.4 
development plan. Thinking about that it should not be that difficult to 
backport to 3.3 (3.3.1) if needed. The 3.4-SNAPSHOT and 3.3 code bases 
in the model component (where this needs to be implemented) are still 
almost the same. Let me know if you are considering sponsorship. In that 
case I can invest some time to investigate it further and provide a 
better estimate.
