JackRabbit (implementation-specific) Node.lock() behaviour

[Mihai Vasilache]

Hello JackRabbit users!

I am a little worried about some sentences in the JCR documentation about the open-scoped lock:

1. In the javadoc at Lock.lock(boolean isDeep, boolean isSessionScoped) it says:
      ...if false, this lock does not expire until explicitly unlocked or automatically unlocked due to a implementation-specific limitation, such as a timeout.
(http://www.day.com/maven/jsr170/javadocs/jcr-1.0/javax/jcr/Node.html#lock(boolean,%20boolean))

2. On the Day site (http://www.day.com/specs/jcr/2.0/17_Locking.html)
     ...An open-scoped lock does not expire until it is explicitly unlocked, it times out or an implementation-specific limitation intervenes.


Someone know if JackRabbit automatically unlock a node in some conditions? Because in the documentation is sayng something about a implementation-specific limitation....
In my application, the behavior i want is that the administrator lock some nodes (and maybe store the lock token in the node before logout) and i don't want the nodes to be unlocked only if the administrator explicitly unlock that node.


Thank you,
Mihai
