I wasn't thinking of a flag, I was thinking of a withTimeout(timeout)

customized with a value as well, but then you'd need to keep them in a
map and it could be more trouble than it's worth.
The complication with withTimeout/tryLock OTOH is that as a user I'd
expect it to limit everything, not just the lock acquisition - so it
would have to override sync.replTimeout as well.
Where is the JIRA to vote for? :)
The javadoc for lock says:"false will only be returned if the lock
acquisition timed out and the operation has been called with
|Flag.FAIL_SILENTLY|
<http://docs.jboss.org/infinispan/5.1/apidocs/org/infinispan/context/Flag....;.
As user I'd assume that when using the mentioned flag and independend
what errors happen, the lock will _only_ return false in case of an timeout.
Is the discussed "tryLock" in the end the expected behaviour for lock
with FAIL_SILENTLY regarding the javadoc?
