If locks are implemented as metadata, this might be hard. If locks are implementeds through lock servers (NFS style), then it should be easier. Even if locks are implemented as metadata, I'm not sure it would be *that* bad. In fact, I like the idea of associating metadata with a resource or collection in the form of a URI which identifies the resource that actually administers the locks. --- gjw@wnetc.com / http://www.wnetc.com/home.html If you're going to reinvent the wheel, at least try to come up with a better one.
