FileLock (NetBeans File Systems API) - NetBeans API Javadoc 5.0.0

 

org.openide.filesystems
Class FileLock

java.lang.Object
  extended byorg.openide.filesystems.FileLock

public class FileLock
extends Object

Represents an acquired lock on a FileObject. Typical usage includes locking the file in the editor on first modification, and then using this object to ensure exclusive access when overwriting the file (saving) by using FileObject.getOutputStream(org.openide.filesystems.FileLock). Also used for renames, deletes, &c.

Note that such locks are only used to protect against concurrent write accesses, and are not used for read operations (i.e. they are not write-one-read-many locks). Normally this is sufficient protection. If you really need an atomic read, you may simply lock the file, perform the read, and unlock it when done. The file will still be protected against writes, although the read operation did not request a lock.
