About locking

[Marcello Marangio <m....@tno.it>]

Hi all.
I am still dealing with he locking mechanism between different instances of
james.
Just a curiosity: why use the Lock class instead of synchronizing methods? 
Am I missing something?

Cheers
Marcello

Because James still have the ability to loop through the mails and 
safely fail locking when a message is already being processed by other 
threads.

Look at the "lock()" code and at the code calling lock() to understand.
