public class Lock

extends StateManager

Instances of this class (or derived user classes) are used when trying to set a lock. The default implementation provides a single-write/multiple-reader policy. However, by overridding the appropriate methods, other, type-specific concurrency control locks can be implemented.

Since:

JTS 1.0.

Constructor Detail

Lock

public Lock()

Create a new lock.

Lock

public Lock(int lm)

Create a new Lock object and initialise it. Mode is based upon argument. The value of BasicAction.Current determines the values of the remainder of the fields. If there is no action running the owner field is set to be the application uid created when the application starts.

Lock

public Lock(Uid storeUid)

This is used when re-initialising a Lock after retrieval from the object store.

Method Detail

finalize

public void finalize()
              throws java.lang.Throwable

General clean up as Lock is deleted.

Overrides:

finalize in class StateManager

Throws:

java.lang.Throwable

getLockMode

public final int getLockMode()

Returns:

the mode this lock is currently in, e.g., LockMode.READ.

getCurrentOwner

public final Uid getCurrentOwner()

Returns:

the identity of the lock's current owner (the transaction id).

getAllOwners

public final ActionHierarchy getAllOwners()

Returns:

the transaction hierarchy associated with this lock.

getCurrentStatus

public final int getCurrentStatus()

Returns:

the lock's current status.

changeHierarchy

public final void changeHierarchy(ActionHierarchy newOwner)

Change the transaction hierarchy associated with the lock to that provided.

propagate

public final void propagate()

Propagate the lock.

modifiesObject

public boolean modifiesObject()

Does this lock imply a modification of the object it is applied to? For example, a READ lock would return false, but a WRITE lock would return true.

Returns:

true if this lock implies the object's state will be modified, false otherwise.

conflictsWith

public boolean conflictsWith(Lock otherLock)

Implementation of Lock conflict check. Returns TRUE if there is conflict FALSE otherwise. Does not take account of relationship in the atomic action hierarchy since this is a function of LockManager.

Returns:

true if this lock conflicts with the parameter, false otherwise.

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object otherLock)

Overrides Object.equals()

equals

public boolean equals(Lock otherLock)

Are the two locks equal?

Returns:

true if the locks are equal, false otherwise.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides Object.toString()

print

public void print(java.io.PrintWriter strm)

functions inherited from StateManager

Overrides:

print in class StateManager

restore_state

public boolean restore_state(InputObjectState os,
                             int ot)

Carefully restore the state of a Lock.

Overrides:

restore_state in class StateManager

Returns:

true if successful, false otherwise.

save_state

public boolean save_state(OutputObjectState os,
                          int ot)

Save the state of a lock object.

Overrides:

save_state in class StateManager

Returns:

true if successful, false otherwise.

type

public java.lang.String type()

Overrides StateManager.type()

Overrides:

type in class StateManager

getLink

protected Lock getLink()

Get the next lock in the chain.

setLink

protected void setLink(Lock pointTo)

Set the next lock in the chain.
