/**
 * A modifying resource provider is an extension of a resource provider which
 * is only supported if the resource provider has been created through
 * a {@link ResourceProviderFactory}.
 *
 * A modifying resource provider allows to create, update, and delete
 * resources. Update is handled through {@link ModifiableValueMap}.
 *
 * All changes should be kept in a transient store until {@link #commit(ResourceResolver)}
 * is called. {@link #revert(ResourceResolver)} discards all transient changes.
 *
 * If the modifying resource provider needs to clean up resources when it
 * is discarded like removing objects from the transient state which are
 * not committed etc., it should also implement the {@link DynamicResourceProvider}
 * interface.
