[midPoint] Example AMQP / Async resource?

[Pavol Mederly]

Hello Richard,

you're right -- Grouper AMQP connector (and any existing AMQP support in 
midPoint as well) is used solely to transfer data from external system 
(Grouper) to midPoint.

When considering the other way (from midPoint to external systems), we 
have no explicit support for messaging now.

As described here 
(https://wiki.evolveum.com/display/midPoint/Messaging+Resources) the 
expected approach would be to implement something similar to manual 
resource connector we have in midPoint now. But it's not quite easy, 
considering you are new to midPoint, as you said.

The preferred option is to contact us to develop this kind of connector 
for you, or the other way is to use a kind of fallback you are thinking 
about. If it's a temporary solution, (before converting all your 
resources to directly interface midPoint), then it could be acceptable. 
I think.

Best regards,
