Change Document Library Folder Name from client (JavaScript (JSOM) or Rest)

Question

Hi
According to :
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/23441a0d-022a-4d97-8058-b75f32e342d2/rest-api-to-rename-the-folder-move-folder-copy-folder-prog-lang-is-java?forum=sharepointdevelopment
Renaming a folder with Rest is not possible.
and based on:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/jj245697(v=office.15).aspx
name property doesn't have any set.
Is it means that renaming a folder is not possible by JSOM or REST?!
Regards

Hi,
The following JavaScript Client Object Model code for your reference:
<script type="text/ecmascript">
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(UpdateListItem, "sp.js");
function UpdateListItem(){
var clientContext;
var oWebsite;
var oList;
clientContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
oWebsite = clientContext.get_web();
oList = oWebsite.get_lists().getByTitle("DocumentLibrary");
oListItem = oList.getItemById(1);
this.oListItem.set_item("FileLeafRef", "Folder Name");
this.oListItem.update();
clientContext.load(this.oListItem);
clientContext.executeQueryAsync(onSuccess, onFailure);
function onSuccess() {
alert('Update succeeded.');
function onFailure(sender, args) {
alert('Request failed. ' + args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
</script>
