I used Tomcat Manager to un-deploy/deploy Guvnor, so Tomcat is running all the time. And, when I re-deploy Guvnor on a running instance of Tomcat, I got the repository lock error. In order to be able to deploy a new Guvnor build, I have to actually stop Tomcat server. But on that server I have other applications running, and stopping the server is not an ideal situation. Best case for my application is to be able to deploy a new Guvnor build on a running Tomcat server.

Did you close down Tomcat6 normally? So not with kill or kill -9?

I ran Guvnor 5.1 under Tomcat6. If I am using Tomcat manager to re-deploy Guvnor, I get this error about the repository lock:


Caused by: org.drools.repository.RulesRepositoryException: javax.jcr.RepositoryException: The repository home /MY_SERVER_PATH/guvnor/WEB-INF/classes/repository appears to be already locked by the current process.


To fix the lock error I had to stop Tomcat, upload the new Guvnor war, and start Tomcat. It is pretty inconvenient that one has to restart the whole server, as that would disrupt any other application that is deployed on the same server.


I noticed that another user on this forum mentioned the same repository lock error, but on a WebSphere 7 server. (http://drools.46999.n3.nabble.com/Can-Guvnor-provide-client-management-API-td3283602.html#a3283610)


I also checked the JackRabbit source code, and Wiki, and the documentation says that this error happens when the repository is not properly closed. 


Can anyone from the Drools-Guvnor team add more details about this? Is this a JackRabbit issue, or a Drools-Guvnor? 


thx,
