Found in: WCK 2.2pre1 I don't know if the problem I am experiencing is a bug, or by design. I am using Eclipse as a client and have created a custom store to retreive/lock/edit resources in a database. I can lock and retreive the resources without any problem. Although, when I try to retreive a resource that has been locked, I want to display a message stating that the resource is locked and show the owner of the lock. I can retreive the LockDiscoveryProperty object, but the owner is missing. Here is what I have found within the WCK source. The WebdavStoreAdapter class (specifically the inner class TransactionId.enumerateLocks(WebdavStoreAdapter.java:892) calls my custom store to get the lock on the specified resource. The WebdavStoreLockExtension.Lock[] that is returned from my store is used to create a NodeLock. for (int i = 0; i < ids.length; i++) { WebdavStoreLockExtension.Lock lockId = ids[i]; NodeLock lock = new NodeLock(lockId.getId(), uri.toString(), lockId.getSubject(), "/actions/write", lockId.getExpirationDate(), lockId.isInheritable(), lockId.isExclusive()); locks.add(lock); } The LockDiscoveryProperty obj will then use this NodeLock obj to display the owner. I would assume that the owner would be the 'subject' from the WebdavStoreLockExtension.Lock. However, it turns out that the owner from the LockDiscoveryProperty obj is populated from the 'ownerInfo' field of the NodeLock. From the developer comments in the NodeLock class I found the following definitions: subject -is defined as the user who is the lock owner. ownerInfo - is defined as contacting information about the lock owner. I verified this by doing a setOwnerInfo( name ) on the NodeLock just after it was created. After doing that, the owner then showed up in the LockDiscoveryProperty obj. From the developer comments, I would assume that the 'subject' should be used as the owner, not the ownerInfo. My apologies if I am incorrect. The constructor used to create the NodeLock sets the ownerInfo field to null which propogates to the null owner in the LockDiscoveryProperty . I am not sure if the constructor needs to be changed to set the ownerInfo, or if the LockDiscoveryProperty is referencing the ownerInfo field and it should really be using the 'subject' field.
