Hi, I have a question regarding task assignment. 
If I set a pool of actors to a task means that several people can have the same 
task in their tasklist.
When a user decide to work on a task the API suggests you to immediately assign 
the task to the user removing the task from the other actors task list.

This work fine but in a web application we show the list of tasks in a page and 
is quite easy that 2 users click on the same task so we can control that tha 
task is un-assigned before assigning it. 
This will solve a lot of cases but because it's not an atomic process it could 
fail the same.

Does anybody knows a possible solution to avoid this? 
Consider that we are working on a cluster and this means we can't use 
"synchronized" blocks.

Many thanks for any idea

Claudio
