Thanks. This makes more sense, I still do not understand what
SerializableStrategy is doing?! Could anyone explain? Anyway, it looks
as if the locks never wait, right?

Concerning the LockWaitStrategy I am currently extending Jakarta
Commons Transaction to allow it's lock manager to allow both blocking
and non blocking usage. I have just finished some sort of deadlock
detection minus testing. All this and timeouts for active locks will
most likely be in Commons Transaction 1.1.

If you are interested I will let you know as soon as it is in CVS for
inspection and give more guidance.

Well, sleep is not terminated by notify. This means the code will
never know when a lock has really been released, but waits for a
predetermined amount of time. Obviously, this unnecessarily limits
concurrency. But maybe there is another reason for doing it this way
which I am unaware of.
