Java adapter in process task

Question

Hi,
I'm using DBAT connector to provision data from OIM to target system. I have a requirement to change password in target system when it is being changed in OIM (by default is is changed but this change has to be done in specific way). I have crated a java code that changes password in certain way and implemented it as a adapter in OIM (simple adapter; one input (user password) and one output).
I guess that I should create a task in the process form that invokes this adapter, but after some trials I am still not able to make it work fine.
My question is: how to implement adapter in the process task? There are 2 tasks by default that corresponds to user password:
- Change User Password
- Edit USR_PASSWORD
Should I edit them?
Thanks in advance!

I don't concur with the approach Suren is suggesting because he is asking to set the password through Change User Password task itself. So you will have to create additional adapter variables which would be required to connect to the target and then update the OID password. And all this stuff is already there in the Password Updated task.
If not this then may be you will have to update the Process form using API's ( ? ? ?)
But in nearly 99% of such User Profile to Target attributes Updates you use Change User Password and Password Updated combination. So always:
- Change User password fetches the password from User Definition and save it to Process form *(transformation could also be done as required like upper case)*
- From process form its forwarded downstream
