Class IdentifierBasedLock

java.lang.Object
  org.axonframework.common.lock.IdentifierBasedLock

public class IdentifierBasedLock
extends Object

Locking mechanism that allows multiple threads to hold a lock, as long as the identifier of the lock they hold is not equal. When released, locks entries are automatically cleaned up.

The lock is re-entrant, meaning each thread can hold the same lock multiple times. The lock will only be released for other threads when the lock has been released as many times as it was obtained.

This lock can be used to ensure thread safe access to a number of objects, such as Aggregates and Sagas.
