repository lock file not removed without a clean shutdown
---------------------------------------------------------
Key: JCR-233
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-233
Project: Jackrabbit
Type: Bug
Components: core
Versions: 1.0
Reporter: fabrizio giustina
actually when a repository is loaded a ".lock" file is created. This file is
removed only after a clean shutdown but, if a jackrabbit instance has been
killed, you have to manually delete the file in order to load the repository
again, also if there was no live instance of jackrabbit that was using it.
The problem comes from the fact that the simple presence of the .lock file is
used to indicate a live instance.
I suggest replacing this behavior using this method (used for example by
eclipse when opening workspaces):
- when an instance is loaded create a ".lock" file and open it with exclusive
access
- when a new instance is started try to delete an eventual .lock file. Only if
the file can't be deleted because in use assume that another jackrabbit
instance is running.
