Re-hi,

Thanks for your answers. I have tested with 2.3-SNAPSHOT and it still doesn't 
work... Although, the exception message is better "property /test/property: the 
property cannot be saved because it has been modified externally."

I do not understand why it should be an wanted behavior. Does Jackrabbit is 
designed to work with Node locks and Transaction only? There is no way to take 
the changes I've made in one Session and retry them? Based on my analysis :
- Transaction would slow down the repository...
- Locked nodes looks complicated and deadlock friendly since I need to modify 
properties at many place in the repository at once.
- Retrying to get a new session and remake the changes when there was an error 
at session.save() looks like a dirty solution to me.

Maybe there is something I did not understand with jackrabbit concurrency 
model. Any pointers?


François
