public abstract class WFSTLockFeatureRequest
extends WFSRequest

Web connections are inherently stateless. As a consequence of this, the semantics of serializable transactions are not preserved. To understand the issue, consider an update operation. The client fetches a feature instance. The feature is then modified on the client side, and submitted back to the database via a Transaction request for update. Serializability is lost since there is nothing to guarantee that while the feature was being modified on the client side, another client did not come along and update that same feature in the database. One way to ensure serializability is to require that access to data be done in a mutually exclusive manner; that is while one transaction accesses a data item, no other transaction can modify the same data item. This can be accomplished by using locks that control access to the data. The purpose of the LockFeature operation is to expose a long term feature locking mechanism to ensure consistency. The lock is considered long term because network latency would make feature locks last relatively longer than native commercial database locks. The LockFeature operation is optional and does not need to be implemented for a WFS implementation to conform to this specification. If a WFS implements the LockFeature operation, this fact must be advertised in the capabilities document
