I wish to delete a document which resides in a database. Document has some attachments which are located in a file system. Business logic first deletes everything in a database then removes the files. However, this procedure is often a part of a larger transaction and when rollback happens the document is restored but without the attachments. How to solve this?

I see two solutions for this:

  1. Delete files at the very end of transaction. In our framework this is not plausible solution I think.
  2. Store files in a database. This would work but it demands rewriting and retesting a whole lot.

Perhaps I’m missing some easier solution. Can you share your thoughts on this subject?
Thanks.
