Abstract

Threads of a multithreaded client application access data in one or more global data repositories via one or more local trees. Each local tree is associated with one or more locked resources of the global data repository. By using the local trees in accessing the data of the global repository, a thread is automatically associated with a lock block and therefore, the granting of locks is independent of any threading models.
