What LockManager does?

In general, LockManager stores Lock objects, so it can give a Lock object or can release it, etc.

Also, LockManager is responsible for removing Locks that live too long. This parameter may be configured with "time-out" property.

JCR provides two basic implementations of LockManager:

In this article, we will mostly mention about CacheableLockManagerImpl.

You can enable LockManager by adding lock-manager-configuration to workspace-configuration.

For example:

<workspace name="ws">
   ...
   <lock-manager class="org.exoplatform.services.jcr.impl.core.lock.jbosscache.CacheableLockManagerImpl">
      <properties>
         <property name="time-out" value="15m" />
         ...
      </properties>
   </lock-manager>               
   ...
</workspace>

LockManagerImpl is a simple implementation of LockManager, and also faster than CacheableLockManager. It stores Lock objects in HashMap and may also persist Locks if LockPersister is configured. LockManagerImpl does not support replication in any way.

See more about LockManager Configuration at here.

CacheableLockManagerImpl stores Lock objects in JBoss-cache, so Locks are replicable and affect on cluster, not only a single node. Also, JBoss-cache has JDBCCacheLoader, so Locks will be stored to the database.

Both of the implementations support to remove Expired Locks. LockRemover separates threads, that periodically ask LockManager to remove Locks that live so long. So, the timeout for LockRemover may be set as follows, the default value is 30m.

<properties>
   <property name="time-out" value="10m" />
   ...
</properties>

Replication requirements are the same for Cache.

You can see a full JCR configuration example at here.

Common tips:

  • clusterName ("jbosscache-cluster-name") must be unique;

  • cache.jdbc.table.name must be unique per datasource;

  • cache.jdbc.fqn.type and cache.jdbc.node.type must be configured according to used database;

There are a few ways to configure CacheableLockManagerImpl, and all of them configure JBoss-cache and JDBCCacheLoader.

See http://community.jboss.org/wiki/JBossCacheJDBCCacheLoader

The first one is putting JbossCache configuraion file path to CacheableLockManagerImpl.

Configuration is as follows:

<lock-manager class="org.exoplatform.services.jcr.impl.core.lock.jbosscache.CacheableLockManagerImpl">
   <properties>
     <property name="time-out" value="15m" />
     <property name="jbosscache-configuration" value="conf/standalone/cluster/test-jbosscache-lock-config.xml" />
   </properties>
</lock-manager>

Configuration requirements:

The second one is using the template JBoss-cache configuration for all LockManagers.

Lock template configuration

test-jbosscache-lock.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jbosscache xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="urn:jboss:jbosscache-core:config:3.1">

   <locking useLockStriping="false" concurrencyLevel="50000" lockParentForChildInsertRemove="false"
      lockAcquisitionTimeout="20000" />

   <clustering mode="replication" clusterName="${jbosscache-cluster-name}">
      <stateRetrieval timeout="20000" fetchInMemoryState="false" />
      <jgroupsConfig multiplexerStack="jcr.stack" />
      <sync />
   </clustering>

   <loaders passivation="false" shared="true">
      <!-- All the data of the JCR locks needs to be loaded at startup -->
      <preload>
         <node fqn="/" />
      </preload>  
      <!--
      For another cache-loader class you should use another template with
      cache-loader specific parameters
      ->
      <loader class="org.jboss.cache.loader.JDBCCacheLoader" async=q"false" fetchPersistentState="false"
         ignoreModifications="false" purgeOnStartup="false">
         <properties>
            cache.jdbc.table.name=${jbosscache-cl-cache.jdbc.table.name}
            cache.jdbc.table.create=${jbosscache-cl-cache.jdbc.table.create}
            cache.jdbc.table.drop=${jbosscache-cl-cache.jdbc.table.drop}
            cache.jdbc.table.primarykey=${jbosscache-cl-cache.jdbc.table.primarykey}
            cache.jdbc.fqn.column=${jbosscache-cl-cache.jdbc.fqn.column}
            cache.jdbc.fqn.type=${jbosscache-cl-cache.jdbc.fqn.type}
            cache.jdbc.node.column=${jbosscache-cl-cache.jdbc.node.column}
            cache.jdbc.node.type=${jbosscache-cl-cache.jdbc.node.type}
            cache.jdbc.parent.column=${jbosscache-cl-cache.jdbc.parent.column}
            cache.jdbc.datasource=${jbosscache-cl-cache.jdbc.datasource}
         </properties>
      </loader>
   </loaders>
</jbosscache>

As you see, all configurable parameters are filled by templates and will be replaced by LockManagers configuration parameters:

<lock-manager class="org.exoplatform.services.jcr.impl.core.lock.jbosscache.CacheableLockManagerImpl">
   <properties>
      <property name="time-out" value="15m" />
      <property name="jbosscache-configuration" value="test-jbosscache-lock.xml" />
      <property name="jgroups-configuration" value="udp-mux.xml" />
      <property name="jgroups-multiplexer-stack" value="true" />
      <property name="jbosscache-cluster-name" value="JCR-cluster-locks-ws" />
      <property name="jbosscache-cl-cache.jdbc.table.name" value="jcrlocks_ws" />
      <property name="jbosscache-cl-cache.jdbc.table.create" value="true" />
      <property name="jbosscache-cl-cache.jdbc.table.drop" value="false" />
      <property name="jbosscache-cl-cache.jdbc.table.primarykey" value="jcrlocks_ws_pk" />
      <property name="jbosscache-cl-cache.jdbc.fqn.column" value="fqn" />
      <property name="jbosscache-cl-cache.jdbc.fqn.type" value="AUTO"/>
      <property name="jbosscache-cl-cache.jdbc.node.column" value="node" />
      <property name="jbosscache-cl-cache.jdbc.node.type" value="AUTO"/>
      <property name="jbosscache-cl-cache.jdbc.parent.column" value="parent" />
      <property name="jbosscache-cl-cache.jdbc.datasource" value="jdbcjcr" />
   </properties>
</lock-manager>
