How to manage transaction for database and file system in Java EE environment?

I store file’s attributes (size, update time…) in database. So the problem is how to manage transaction for database and file.

In a Java EE environment, JTA is just able to manage database transaction. In case, updating database is successful but file operation fails, should I write file-rollback method for this? Moreover, file operation in EJB container violates EJB spec.

What’s your opinion?
