[rules-users] Guvnor - Issues with repository lock on Tomcat re-deployment

[Tihomir Surdilovic]

You have to make sure the running Guvnor instance is completely stopped 
before re-deploying. Jackrabbit only allows for one process to access 
the repository at a time. Seems maybe the repository in your case is 
still open (even if it's the same process, but with another classloader 
-> another webapp that hasnt been stopped yet).
