Method Detail

acquireLock

LockResult acquireLock(Path path)
                throws IllegalArgumentException,
                       IOException

Creates a lock file for the specified Path, to be held by the currently authenticated user. If successful, this method associates the created lock with the user's HTTP session so locks can automatically be released when the session ends, expires or is destroyed.

Parameters:

path - the path of the file or directory to lock.

Returns:

the LockResult, indicating success or failure and containing the last read LockInfo.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - If the provided path is invalid or null.

IOException - If a lock file can't be written or an existing lock can't be read.

releaseLock

LockResult releaseLock(Path path)
                throws IllegalArgumentException,
                       IOException

Deletes the lock file for the specified Path. The requesting user needs to own the lock for this operation to succeed.

Parameters:

path - the path of the file or directory currently assumed locked.

Returns:

the LockResult, indicating success or failure and containing the last read LockInfo.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - If the provided path is invalid or null.

IOException - If a lock file can't be deleted or an existing lock can't be read.

forceReleaseLock

LockResult forceReleaseLock(Path path)
                     throws IllegalArgumentException,
                            IOException

Deletes the lock file for the specified Path even if the requesting user does not own the lock.

Parameters:

path - the path of the file or directory currently assumed locked.

Returns:

the LockResult, indicating success or failure and containing the last read LockInfo.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - If the provided path is invalid or null.

IOException - If a lock file can't be deleted or an existing lock can't be read.

                   throws IllegalArgumentException,
                          IOException

Retrieves the lock information for the specified Path.

Parameters:

retrieveLockInfos

List<LockInfo> retrieveLockInfos(Path path,
                                 boolean excludeOwnedLocks)
                          throws IllegalArgumentException,
                                 IOException

Retrieves all locks for children (files or directories) of the provided path.

Parameters:

path - the path of the directory.

excludeOwnedLocks - filters the resulting list so it doesn't contain locks owned by the currently authenticated user.
