> Hi,
> As stated in the doc the FileResourceManager is:
> "A resource manager for streamable objects stored in a file system"
> I agree, that this is a resource manager, but it could be easily extended, to 
> support a full file management system. It will be very helpful to have 
> additional methods like renameResource(), getResourceSize(), 
> getResourceTime(), 
> setResourceTime() etc. This are common file operations, which should be 
> managed 
> by the FileResourceManager.
> Further it will be very helpful to have (real) support for resource 
> collections 
> (folders). It will be necessary to distinguish between single resources 
> (files) 
> and collections (folders). 
> Together, this features will enable a transactional access to any file based 
> resources - for instance a document repository.
> Are there plans for such extensions and if not, will they actually fit in the 
> goals of the transaction library?
> If not, please open the underlying structure, like the inner class 
> TransactionContext, in order to add extensions the file management. For 
> instance, it will be good to have a separate factory method, which creates 
> the 
> context.
> If you are interested in this proposal, I am ready to contribute to this 
> project. I consider myself as an experienced java developer and I will be 
> glad 
> to help you. 
> Best regards
> Peter Fassev
