[midPoint] Example AMQP / Async resource?

[Richard Frovarp]

Thanks for the answer. I'm quite good at banging my head against
things, so long as I know it is possible. I'll take a peak at the
manual resource bit to see if that could possibly help. The DB work
around is probably my best bet. 

The Internet 2 documentation on the TIER package isn't exactly the most
clear about AMQP operations. It makes it seem as though midPoint can
provision via AMQP, AND that Grouper can get additions through AMQP.
And it appears that neither are true. I'll see if I have enough karma
to edit, otherwise will find someone to fix the page I found.

Thanks again,
Richard
