AJAX & Record Locking in Web Apps

In web-based applications, locking database records while editing is a challenge. David Perelman-Hall provides a client-based solution written in Java. His technique provides record locking for multiuser data-driven web applications that does not take place in the database. The system also provides an admin panel that shows who is viewing or editing what page in the application, and can be used to kick users out of the application altogether by ending their sessions.
