When creating multiple repository instances pointing to the same home, opening 
a second session will remove the .lock file
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JCR-2057
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-2057
             Project: Jackrabbit Content Repository
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: jackrabbit-core
    Affects Versions: 1.5.3, core 1.4.7
         Environment: Ubuntu Intrepid
            Reporter: Sébastien Launay


The following test case can be used to reproduce the bug:
Repository repo1 = new TransientRepository(repoConfig);
Session session1_1 = repo1.login(...);
Session session2_2 = repo1.login(...);
Repository repo2 = new TransientRepository(repoConfig); // Will not fail 
(expected)
Session session2_1 = repo2.login(...); // Will fail with 
javax.jcr.RepositoryException: The repository home /tmp/_repository appears to 
be already locked by the current process (expected)
Session session2_2 = repo2.login(...); // Will work!
Repository repo3 = new TransientRepository(repoConfig); // Will not fail either 
(expected)
Session session3_1 = repo3.login(...); // Will fail with 
javax.jcr.RepositoryException: The repository home /tmp/_repository appears to 
be already locked by the current process (expected)
Session session3_2 = repo3.login(...); // Will fail with 
javax.jcr.RepositoryException: Directory was previously created with a 
different LockFactory instance

Open the first session in repo2 will fails but will also remove the .lock file, 
thus the second
session will succeed and may corrupt the repository because there are multiple 
session
opened from multiple repository.
The same behaviour occurs for repo3, the .lock file is removed but it is a 
slightly different case
as a new exception will be thrown while creating the Lucene index.

This is a clearly a twisted case as repositories pointing to the same home must 
not be created
simultaneously but i think that it must be more robust to prevent data 
corruption.

I reproduce the bug on JR 1.4.7 and 1.5.3 but i think it affects at least all 
versions of JR < 1.5.3.
