[opencms-dev] Locking an entry

[Jorg Heymans]

Hi Andras,

You nearly have it working then :)
All you need to do is to persist the contentdefinition back to the 
database.
Your contentdefinition has to implement the method "public void 
write(CmsObject cms) throws Exception". This method gets called by the 
framework after the locking/unlocking action is done. If you add some 
method logging you can verify this for yourself.
After you did the persistence, opencms will call your module filter 
again, which will retrieve the updated module data (and hopefully your 
"locked" item).

Hope this helps
Jorg
