public interface EntityLockAdapterFactory
extends LockAdapterFactory

An EntityLockAdapterFactory is a factory for creating EntityLockAdapter:s for lockable objects (mostly entities, but also other EntityRepositiory implementations).

Every file system has an implementation of this interface that it uses to create EntityLockAdapter:s for entities. That instance can also be used to create standalone locks (not tied to any entity) by a client. All created lock adapters will use the file system's LockAcquiringStrategy for locking.

Clients never use this interface directly. To create more locks for an entity, use its createLock(Object) method instead.
