Locking for URLyBird 1.1.1

[Priya Patra]

The DB interface I have has the following signatures for lock and unlock method
public long lock(int recNo) throws RecordNotFoundException;
public void unlock(int recNo, long cookie) throws RecordNotFoundException, SecurityException;
My implementation for lock is something as below

while (reservations.containsKey(recno)) {
lockReleased.await();
}
lockCookie = (new Date()).getTime() + recno;
reservations.put(recno, lockCookie);

My unlock method reads somehting like
if (reservations.get(recno) == lockCookie) {
reservations.remove(recno);
lockReleased.signal();
}

Where reservations is a Hashmap and lockReleased is lock.newCondition() where lock is a reentrantlock.

Can you help me find any flaws here? Thanks for all your help.
