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
