        @Auditable(parameters={"nodeRef","lockType"})
void lock​(org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.NodeRef nodeRef,
          LockType lockType)
   throws UnableToAquireLockException
        Places a lock on a node.

        The lock prevents any other user or process from comitting updates to the node until the lock is released.

        The lock will be owned by the current user.

        A lock made with this call will never expire.

        Parameters:
        nodeRef - a reference to a node
        lockType - the lock type
        Throws:
        UnableToAquireLockException - thrown if the lock could not be obtained

      • lock

        @Auditable(parameters={"nodeRef","lockType","timeToExpire"})
void lock​(org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.NodeRef nodeRef,
          LockType lockType,
          int timeToExpire)
   throws UnableToAquireLockException
        Places a persistent lock on a node.

        The lock prevents any other user or process from comitting updates to the node until the lock is released.

        The lock will be owned by the current user.

        If the time to expire is 0 then the lock will never expire. Otherwise the timeToExpire indicates the number of seconds before the lock expires. When a lock expires the lock is considered to have been released.

        If the node is already locked and the user is the lock owner then the lock will be renewed with the passed timeToExpire.

        Parameters:
        nodeRef - a reference to a node
        lockType - the lock type
        timeToExpire - the number of seconds before the locks expires.
        Throws:
        UnableToAquireLockException - thrown if the lock could not be obtained
