[midPoint] New notification, need to verify my code

[Pavol Mederly]

Hello Jason, 

I'm sorry, this mail slipped out of my view. 

As for your question about ordering of notifications: generally yes, notifications are sent after changes were made. There are two kinds of notifications that might be of interest here: 
- "focal object" (model-level) notifications 
- resource object (provisioning-level) notifications 

The former are related to changes in focal objects - users, roles, and orgs. They are invoked by model, among model hooks, in the FINAL stage - i.e. after all the changes were made. 
The latter are related to changes in resource objects. They are invoked by the provisioning module. Again, they are invoked after operation attempt has been carried out - either successfully, unsuccessfully, or unsuccessfully with the hope of eventual sucess. You can differentiate between these states by looking at operationStatus field: it is either SUCCESS, FAILURE, or IN_PROGRESS, respectively. 

Back to your code. Requestee is the focal object that the operation deals with (typically, the user). Your expression returns the current administrative status of this user. 

If it's used within the context of a focal object notification, it displays the new status of the object (an exception is the DELETE operation, where it would show the original status). 

But if it's used within the context of a resource object notification, it displays the status of the user object just after the resource object (account) operation was carried out. So it is *not* the final state. Imagine e.g. that there would be a "disable account" operation, followed by inbound mapping of newly changed value of account's administrativeStatus to user's administrativeStatus. In this case, the notification would show the original vlaue of the user's administrativeStatus. (But, this example is perhaps too artificial to be present in real life.) 

Hope this helps (at least a bit...)

I tested the below code and it seems to work but I just wanted to verify I am using it correctly. Also, notification are the last item to process correct, after all changes have been made to the account? 

Snippet from body expression code: 

"Status: " + requestee?.getActivation()?.getAdministrativeStatus() + " \n" + 

Thanks!
