Perhaps what I'm trying to explain here doesn't make any sense, so I'd like to apologize in advance. Anyway, I will try.
I'm trying to read from a file, perform some database operations and move the content to another file. I was wondering if it is possible to perform all this operations in an atomic way in Java, so if anything goes wrong in the list of actions, rollback the complete sequence and go back to the start point.
Thanks in advance for your help.
As XADisk supports XA transactions over file-systems, it should solve you problem. It can participate in XA transactions along with Databases and other XA Resources.
In case your application is not in a JCA supportive environment, you can also use standalone Transaction Manager like Atomikos and carry out XA transactions involving both files (using XADisk) and Database.
The project's home page does not exist anymore and the last release on Maven was in 2013.
JBossTS proposes its own implementation for transactional file i/o, as part of the Narayana project (formerly called JBossTS).
