[midPoint] Where to add class for my future builds?

[Pavol Mederly]

Hello Jason,

I'm not sure I understand your situation well enough. What I understood is:
1) You have a custom code for generating notifications.
2) You have to include it at many places (once for each specific handler 
declaration).
3) You are asking how to eliminate this code duplication.

One possibility would be to create a custom notifier in Java, e.g. by 
subclassing SimpleUserNotifier, and overriding getSubject(..) and 
getBody(..) methods to include your specific code. The only problem is 
how to tell midPoint to use your notifier.

There is a mechanism that selects a notifier based on the type of 
configuration element used to describe it. E.g. when you use 
SimpleUserNotifierType, the SimpleUserNotifier is selected. See 
AggregatedEventHandler (processEvent and processNotifiers methods), and 
NotificationManagerImpl.getEventHandler method. This mechanism is based 
on self-registration of handlers (see e.g. SimpleUserNotifier.init method).

So, in order to register your own handler, you would need to create a 
custom configuration type for it. One possibility is to extend static 
schema (typically, common-3.xsd), which is not very clean, as it changes 
core midPoint sources. Another is to manually create configuration type 
by subclassing GeneralNotifierType class - because you don't need to add 
any methods/attributes, you just need it as a marker for the selection 
mechanism.

To conclude: you could create your own notifier (e.g. as a 
MyCustomNotifier that is a subclass of SimpleUserNotifier and overrides 
init/getSubject/getBody), along with its configuration type (e.g. 
MyCustomNotifierType that is a subclass SimpleUserNotifierType). Then 
you would use it like this:

<handler>
   <generalNotifier xsi:type="*MyCustomNotifierType*">
<transport>mail</transport>
   </generalNotifier>
</handler>

Although I've not tried it, it should work.

Also I've created MID-2772 <https://jira.evolveum.com/browse/MID-2772> 
to make creating a custom notifier easier.

Hope this helps,
Pavol
