Method Detail

lock

void lock(LockType type)

Acquire lock of LockType.READ or WRITE

Parameters:

type - the lock type to acquire

tryLock

boolean tryLock(LockType type,
                long msec)
                throws java.lang.InterruptedException

Tries to acquire a LockType.READ or WRITE for a certain period

Parameters:

type - the lock type to acquire

msec - timeout

Returns:

true if the lock got acquired, false otherwise

Throws:

java.lang.InterruptedException - Should the thread be interrupted

unlock

void unlock(LockType type)

Releases the lock held by the current Thread. In case of a LockType.WRITE, should the lock not be held by the current Thread, nothing happens

Parameters:

type - the lock type to acquire
