Did you close down Tomcat6 normally? So not with kill or kill -9? Op 25-08-11 16:45, Patricia Bogoevici schreef: -- With kind regards, Geoffrey De Smet

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. --Patricia --- On Thu, 8/25/11, Geoffrey De Smet <ge0ffrey.spam(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: From: Geoffrey De Smet <ge0ffrey.spam(a)gmail.com&gt; Subject: Re: [rules-users] Guvnor - Issues with repository lock on Tomcat re-deployment To: rules-users(a)lists.jboss.org Date: Thursday, August 25, 2011, 11:05 AM Did you close down Tomcat6 normally?

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-AP...) 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, --Patricia _______________________________________________ rules-users mailing list rules-users(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/rules-users -- With kind regards, Geoffrey De Smet -----Inline Attachment Follows----- _______________________________________________ rules-users mailing list rules-users(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/rules-users

Hi, I also encountered this problem with BRMS4(Guvnor is so big, my WebSphere can't installed), can we cancel jackrabbit's RepositoryLock? But where is the repository.xml? -Nanquan -- View this message in context: http://drools.46999.n3.nabble.com/rules-users-Guvnor-Issues-with-reposito...
