Hi,
while trying to understand the locking internals I stumbled over DBLocking.java#L106 (in core) which throws an Exception when the same thread tries to get a lock again.
The Java documentation states that ReentrantReadWriteLock should be able to handle this [1], are there any extra-conditions that make this neccessary?
Regards,
Max
