Tao, A null resource is defined as “…a resource which responds with a 404 (Not Found) to any HTTP/1.1 or DAV method except for PUT, MKCOL, OPTIONS and LOCK”. In other words, a null resource is one that does not physically exist on the server, but whose URL does. Locking a null resource has the effect of reserving the URL. In this way, a write-locked null resource (or lock-null resource) ensures that no other user can use the specified URL until it is unlocked.
