Connection-less resource locking?

[Ext User(The Doctor)]

Dear all,

I am currently trying to re-implement an existing connection-oriented
locking mechanism that was originally written in C. The company that
supplied us the original system has recently implemented a SOAP package
that we can use to expose some of the internal functions. However, how
does one re-implement connection-oriented resource locking with a
connection-less protocol which I presume SOAP is. The external system
that is trying to lock the resouce is written in Java.

Thanks in advance,
Anthony

A programmer would be helpful!!

Hmm, yes. I wonder what hourly rate the OP was thinking of offering, it
seems like a non-trivial problem to me.

(Well, it really feels like a "wrong solution to the original problem"
situation to me, but most who go down this path are away with fairies to
start with...)

Cheers,
