OIM 11g: Add process tasks as a result of a Request?

Question

Is it possible in OIM 11g to have the result of a Request be that 1 or more process tasks are added to an an account's process?
The out-of-the-box Request framework seems to be very attribute driven (Modify Provisioned Resource, Self Modify Provisioned Resource), and I suppose we could add an attribute to trigger process tasks to be added, however, without going into detail, we'd really just like to be able to add the process task with no process form updates.
Has anyone attempted anything like this?

Sure you can.  Create a plugin on the request status:
<plugin pluginclass="com.custom.eventhandlers.request.RequestCompleted" version="1.0" name="RequestCompleted">
<metadata name="status">
<value>Request Completed</value>
</metadata>
</plugin>
In your code, using benEntity.getEntityKey() you can get the "Users-Object Instance For User.Key" value for the instance the request is for.  Then search the user's existing instances of that resource object type (findObjects) and match it to the "Users-Object Instance For User.Key" value from the result set.  Then get the process instance key.  From there you can use this code to get the task details:
Map taskMap = new HashMap();
String taskName = map.get(resourceName);
taskMap.put("Process Definition.Tasks.Task Name",taskName);
tcResultSet rs =  taskOper.getTaskDetail(processInstanceKey,taskMap);
long taskKey = rs.getLongValue("Process Definition.Tasks.Key");
And finally this code to insert the task:
provIntf.addProcessTaskInstance(taskKey, processInstanceKey);
And done!
