[midPoint] Get all properties in connector on every update(not just changed properties)

[Radovan Semancik]

Hi,

Perhaps the best way is to implement this behaviour in the connector. 
This obviously needs read-change-write cycle. MidPoint can 
(theoreticlaly) do that. But as there are absolutely no consistency 
guarantees in ConnId API then this may be a risk to resource data 
consistency. If it is implemented in the connector then the connector 
may use any resource-specific consistency mechanisms available.

Please note that midPoint does not have this read-change-write mechanism 
implemented yet. Not for a complete account anyway. We have not yet 
encoutered any resource that required it. However, there are few 
resources that can only replace attribute values (cannot add or delete 
them). Therefore there is a read-and-replace mode that can be turned on 
for individual attributes. But that won't help you if you need all 
account attributes on update. Of course, we could implement this feature 
in midPoint if there is a funding for that. But  I think that 
modification of the connector is the way to go.
