                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-553
             Project: DNA
          Issue Type: Feature Request
    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.
