Assign To: angela
> Lock.refresh(): throws if lock is alive
> ---------------------------------------
>
> Key: JCR-226
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-226
> Project: Jackrabbit
> Type: Bug
> Components: locks
> Reporter: angela
> Assignee: angela
> Fix For: 1.0
>
> The spec says:
> Lock.refresh():
> If this lock's time-to-live is governed by a timer, this method resets that
> timer so that the lock does not timeout and expire. If this lock's
> time-to-live is not governed by a timer, then this method has no effect.A
> LockException is thrown if this Session does not hold the correct lock token
> for this lock.A RepositoryException is thrown if another error occurs.
> The jackrabbit impl does:
> /**
> * [EMAIL PROTECTED]
> */
> public void refresh() throws LockException, RepositoryException {
> if (isLive()) {
> throw new LockException("Lock still alive.");
> }
> [...]
> }
> Isn't this a leftover from a very old version of the spec?
> There was ones a misunderstanding about the refresh (bringing locks back to
> live) that has been discussed (mail by david to g. clemm, tobi, peeter and
> myself, 25.4.2005). as far is i know everybody agreed that this does not make
> sense and the spec has been adjusted accordingly.
> The usage of the refresh is to prevent the lock from being timeouted. That
> was the original meaning of the refresh, when i suggested it for the JCR
> locking. If the lock is still alive and there is no timeout to reset, then
> the method should simply not do anything.
> am i missing something?
