Method Detail

acquireSharedLockForBackend

public static void acquireSharedLockForBackend(String backendID,
                                               LocalizableMessageDescriptor.Arg2<Object,Object> failureMsg)
                                        throws LdapException

Attempts to acquire an shared lock on the specified backend ID.

Parameters:

backendID - The backend ID for which to obtain the shared lock.

failureMsg - the message to use in case the backend lock cannot be obtained.

Throws:

LdapException - if the shared lock could not be obtained.

acquireExclusiveLockForBackend

public static void acquireExclusiveLockForBackend(String backendID,
                                                  LocalizableMessageDescriptor.Arg2<Object,Object> failureMsg)
                                           throws LdapException

Attempts to acquire an exclusive lock on the specified backend ID.

Parameters:

backendID - The backend ID for which to obtain the exclusive lock.

failureMsg - the message to use in case the backend lock cannot be obtained.

Throws:

LdapException - if the exclusive lock could not be obtained.

acquireSharedLock

public static boolean acquireSharedLock(String lockFile,
                                        StringBuilder failureReason)

Attempts to acquire a shared lock on the specified file.

Parameters:

lockFile - The file for which to obtain the shared lock.

failureReason - A buffer that can be used to hold a reason that the lock could not be acquired.

Returns:

true if the lock was obtained successfully, or false if it could not be obtained.

acquireExclusiveLock

public static boolean acquireExclusiveLock(String lockFile,
                                           StringBuilder failureReason)

Attempts to acquire an exclusive lock on the specified file.

Parameters:

lockFile - The file for which to obtain the exclusive lock.

failureReason - A buffer that can be used to hold a reason that the lock could not be acquired.

Returns:

true if the lock was obtained successfully, or false if it could not be obtained.

releaseBackendLock

public static void releaseBackendLock(String backendID,
                                      LocalizableMessageDescriptor.Arg2<Object,Object> failureMsg)
                               throws LdapException

Attempts to release a lock on the backend id. If an exclusive lock is held, then it will be released. If a shared lock is held, then its reference count will be reduced, and the lock will be released if the resulting reference count is zero. If we don't know anything about the requested file, then don't do anything.

Parameters:

backendID - The backend ID for which to release the associated lock.

failureMsg - the message to use in case the backe3nd lock cannot be released.

Throws:

LdapException - if a problem occurred that might have prevented the lock from being released.

releaseLock

public static boolean releaseLock(String lockFile,
                                  StringBuilder failureReason)

Attempts to release the lock on the specified file. If an exclusive lock is held, then it will be released. If a shared lock is held, then its reference count will be reduced, and the lock will be released if the resulting reference count is zero. If we don't know anything about the requested file, then don't do anything.

Parameters:

lockFile - The file for which to release the associated lock.

failureReason - A buffer that can be used to hold information about a problem that occurred preventing the successful release.

Returns:

true if the lock was found and released successfully, or false if a problem occurred that might have prevented the lock from being released.

getServerLockFileName

public static String getServerLockFileName()

Retrieves the filename that should be used for the lock file for the Directory Server instance.

Returns:

The filename that should be used for the lock file for the Directory Server instance.
