File system connector should make it possible to extend/customize the properties on the nt:folder, nt:file, and nt:resource nodes --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: DNA-553 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-553 Project: DNA Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Connectors Affects Versions: 0.6 Reporter: Randall Hauch Assignee: Randall Hauch Fix For: 0.7 Using the JCR API to access files is a common use case for the file system connector and our JCR implementation. See the referenced forum thread. However, there are times when additional properties from the files (e.g., properties of PDF or MS Office files) are to be loaded onto the nt:folder, nt:file, and nt:resource nodes. The current implementation makes this much more difficult to achieve than it should be, since it requires creating a whole new connector and subclassing most of the classes in the existing file system connector. The existing classes should be changed so that it is far easier to add custom logic. This change should be quite straightforward.
