Hi Aarnout! Multiple users can logon to the repository. The .lock doesn't mean, that it's a lock from the user. It is a lock from the repository.
Repository.login() gives you a session object, the user can work with. Günther PS: I am still new to Jackrabbit, but the way I got it is that the .lock is only for the Jackrabbit implementation because only one RepositoryImpl - Object can work with the directory at the same time. Feel free to correct me... -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Aarnout van der Meulen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Montag, 05.

I would like to enable several users to use a repository at the same moment (e.g. for creating or searching nodes). But if I execute a repository.login , a .lock-file is created. Does this mean that only one person at a time can use a repository? Or am I missing something?
