Oliver Zeigermann commented on TRANSACTION-9:
---------------------------------------------

Locking
===============

I agree to what Peter says about locking of files/folders and locking in 
general. What about a HierarchicalLockManager that takes care of all that stuff 
for us? Might even be reuseable. I will add an empty impementation for us to 
remember to later fill it.

Interfaces
========

I will add the interfaces to the SVN soon. Let us base further discussions on 
what is in SVN from then on. That might make things a bit easier. I will also 
propose a simple interceptor (instead of listener) concept that is "inspired" 
by how it works in XA and Spring MVC.

Concerning Jörg's comments:
 1. setProperty() is supposed to return the old value, but maybe that does not 
make that much sense? WDYT?
 2. append has been added to writeStream()
 3. the filter thing sounds interesting: Do you have code for that?
 4. I have no really elegant solution to the create-Problem. Distinguishing 
between FileResource and DirectoryResource introduces many problems, some of 
them requiring excessive casting. I have been there before. Currently I favor 
the createAsFile/Directory() solution.

> 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
