I have a webapp which allows a user to retrieve a record from our
AS400 using SQL 'and prepared statements'. I also can write / update
records in the database.
How do I handle 'record-locking'? As an RPG-programmer, I was lucky
that this is done by the AS400 itself.

Sure, I can add a statusfield 'locked Y/N'
- which can be changed to 'Y' when record is read
- which can be changed to 'N' when record is updated/deleted
But... when user reads a record (locked = 'y')
1) he can close the browser without doing the update...
2) he can keep the session open without doing anything...
3) the connection can be lost...
4) servlet-programming error can occur...

please advice...
