If the user A performs a checkout(), the user B can modify this node? If
this is true, the user B can do a checkin before the user commits its
changes.
versioning is not the same as locking. when a 'user' (i.e. the
session) does a checkout, the node is not locked, or owned by that
user. when the node is checkedin, it's content gets copied into the
version store and it becomes read-only. if you need locking, use
Node.lock().
maybe the chapters 8.2 (versioning) and 8.4 (locking) of the jsr170
specification could also help you.
