I think that majority of functionality is accessible. Just looking
at ModelRestService I see that what is missing is:<br>
- workflow functionality (WorkflowService)<br>
- bulk actions functionality (ScriptingService) - see *1<br>
- certification functionality (AccessCertificationService) - see *2<br>
- complex "executeChanges" method - see *3<br>
<br>
Maybe others would correct me, but this is all I know of at this
moment.<br>
<br>
As you can see, these are quite marginal pieces... the majority of
midPoint functions can be invoked remotely via SOAP or REST.<br>
<br>
Notes:<br>
*1) This is fully accessible via SOAP, and, moreover, can be invoked
also via REST in asynchronous way (by creating a task)<br>
*2) This is quite new feature (included as a prototype in 3.3); I
estimate we can put it into SOAP/REST API in 3.5 (sooner only if
really needed)<br>
*3) This is part of SOAP API. On REST API it can be simulated by
invoking a set of modifyObject calls.<br>
<br>
Back to workflows: they exist for quite a long time but I had a
feeling they are not used much. (Maybe because of the awkward
current GUI, that is being reworked for 3.4.) So I had very little
motivation in providing remote API for them. But we see increasing
interest in workflows among users of midPoint, so we pay appropriate
attention to workflow-related functionality now.<br>
<br>
And final note: all of these methods can be implemented in -
literally - few days.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Pavol<br>

<br>
work item approval or rejection is currently possible only
via local Java API. (Implemented as WorkflowService
interface.)<br>
<br>
We plan to implement remote access to this functionality in
forthcoming version 3.4, along with some changes in internal
workflow data structures. It is feasible for you to wait for
this release, or you'd need it sooner?<br>
<br>
It could be implemented immediately by adding respective
wrapper methods to ModelRestService and ModelCrudService,
copying e.g. task-related methods (suspendTasks, etc). But
as I said, the respective data structures will slightly
change in 3.4, so the clients will have to be - very
probably - adapted as well.<br>
<br>
