• Key Concepts: 
  The Locking Service is a component of the BC-JAS Java Application Server. It is responsible for managing the locks on objects in the system, such as database records, files, and other resources. It ensures that only one user can access a particular object at a time, preventing conflicts between users. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The Locking Service is used to ensure that only one user can access an object at a time. When a user attempts to access an object, the Locking Service checks to see if any other users have already locked the object. If so, the user will be denied access until the lock is released. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using the Locking Service, it is important to remember that locks are not automatically released when a user disconnects from the system. Therefore, it is important to ensure that locks are released when they are no longer needed. This can be done by using the appropriate API calls or by setting a timeout on the lock.
