Julian Reschke commented on JCR-2859:
-------------------------------------
+1 for starting with a small change (thus leaving it to admins).
That being said, maybe we should also try to mitigate the effects of lost lock
tokens? For instance, by changing the default timeout from "Infinity" to
something reasonable?

> Project: Jackrabbit Content Repository
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: locks

> The lock tokens for open scoped locks are currently tied to the session which
> created the lock. If the session dies (for whatever reason) there is no way
> to recover the lock and unlock the node.
> There is a theoretical way of adding the lock token to another session, but
> in most cases the lock token is not available.
> Fortunately, the spec allows to relax this behaviour and I think it would
> make sense to allow all sessions from the same user to unlock the node - this
> is still in compliance with the spec but would make unlocked locked nodes
> possible in a programmatic way.
