Method Detail

obtain

public abstract boolean obtain()
                        throws IOException

Attempts to obtain exclusive access and immediately return upon success or failure.

Returns:

true iff exclusive access is obtained

Throws:

IOException

obtain

public boolean obtain(long lockWaitTimeout)
               throws LockObtainFailedException,
                      IOException

Attempts to obtain an exclusive lock within amount of time given. Polls once per LOCK_POLL_INTERVAL (currently 1000) milliseconds until lockWaitTimeout is passed.

Parameters:

lockWaitTimeout - length of time to wait in milliseconds or LOCK_OBTAIN_WAIT_FOREVER to retry forever

Returns:

true if lock was obtained

Throws:

LockObtainFailedException - if lock wait times out

IllegalArgumentException - if lockWaitTimeout is out of bounds

IOException - if obtain() throws IOException

release

public abstract void release()
                      throws IOException

Releases exclusive access.

Throws:

IOException

isLocked

public abstract boolean isLocked()
                          throws IOException

Returns true if the resource is currently locked. Note that one must still call obtain() before using the resource.

Throws:

IOException
