  Q: How is the Provisioning Service Provider going to be picking up
changes from  the notification queue or change log?
A: TomZ: That’s a challenge, since Shib is event driven. The resolver is
not written to handle a subset of info from sources. Not sure how it will
handle a subset.

I'm looking at a similar issue with the ESB connector. In some cases the
ESB may need to know more about (for example) a subject than just the
subjectId, or may need to get the whole membership. I'm either looking at
either adding extra data when it is sent from Grouper to the ESB, or
whether it would be feasible to expect the ESB to query Grouper via some
interface for the extra data that it needs. I know with Mule I can
implement a transformer that could do the lookup, but I need to check
whether other ESBs have similar functionality.
