Thomas Mueller commented on JCR-2874:
-------------------------------------
Hi Angela,
No need to flame. I'm familiar with Jackrabbit, but I just don't like how
complex it is :-) I know my solution (combine all Jackrabbit projects) doesn't
please everybody, so let's not do this at the moment. But it's definitely a
problem if you have to write unit tests for a feature in another project...
Please tell me if you have a solution for this ;-)
Regards,
Thomas
> Locked helper class improvements
> --------------------------------
>
> Key: JCR-2874
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-2874
> Project: Jackrabbit Content Repository
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: jackrabbit-jcr-commons, jackrabbit-spi-commons
> Reporter: Alex Parvulescu
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: lock_upgrade.diff, lock_upgrade_2_tests.patch,
> lock_upgrade_2_wrapper.patch
>
>
> Currently there are 2 helper classes called Locked, that serve the same
> purpose:
> one in jcr-commons
> http://jackrabbit.apache.org/api/2.2/org/apache/jackrabbit/util/Locked.html
> and the other one in spi-commons
> http://jackrabbit.apache.org/api/2.2/org/apache/jackrabbit/spi/commons/lock/Locked.html
> There was a discussion a while back about deprecating one of them. the issue
> affected JR 1.4 and it is now closed. I guess the old patches have not been
> applied: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-1169
> Anyway, I propose to keep the one in jcr-commons and deprecate the other one.
> Also, while we are on the matter, I'd like to propose some improvements to
> this class:
> 1. make the lock configurable, basically add a flag to say if it is session
> scoped or not (currently it is hard coded as a session wide lock).
> 2. upgrade the lock code to use the LockManager
> (http://www.day.com/maven/javax.jcr/javadocs/jcr-2.0/javax/jcr/lock/LockManager.html)
> - this means that the class will rely only on the JCR 2.0. this is a
> potentially breaking change, although a lot of the classes in this module
> depend directly on the 2.0 API
> 3. allow the Locked class to use generics. The biggest issue here is the
> timeout behavior: on timeout you get the TIMED_OUT token object, and you have
> to compare the response to that, to make sure that the code ran properly. I
> think the simplest solution would be to not touch the class directly and
> build a wrapper class that is generified, and throws a RepositoryException in
> case of a timeout.
> This would turn this code( from the javadoc)
> Node counter = ...;
> Object ret = new Locked() {
> protected Object run(Node counter) throws RepositoryException {
> ...
> }
> }.with(counter, false);
> if (ret == Locked.TIMED_OUT) {
> // do whatever you think is appropriate in this case
> } else {
> // get the value
> long nextValue = ((Long) ret).longValue();
> }
> into
> Node counter = ...;
> Long ret = new LockedWrapper<Long>() {
> protected Object run(Node counter) throws RepositoryException {
> ...
> }
> }.with(counter, false);
> // handle the timeout as a RepositoryException
> 4. lock tests location? (this is more of an observation than an actual issue
> it came to me via 'find . -name *Lock*Test.java')

> I'd like to move this one: org.apache.jackrabbit.core.LockTest from the

> I'll add a patch for 1 & 2, but the rest I need your opinion.
