Abstract
A system for synchronizing shared objects among multiple applications includes a shared object space in which the shared objects are stored and accessible to the multiple applications. In order to properly control access to shared objects, each shared object includes a header that is capable of storing an identification of a sole application that is the only application currently accessing the shared object or a reference into a lock table that stores lock nodes corresponding to a number of applications that are currently seeking access to the shared object.
