| | | * determined by getting the installation path from the classpath. |
|---|
| | | * NOTE: this method is to be called only when the OpenDS.jar class has |
|---|
| | | * already been loaded as it uses classes in that jar. |
|---|
| | | * |
|---|
| | | * LIMITATIONS: |
|---|
| | | * If the locks directory does not exist the mechanism fails if the server is |
|---|
| | | * stopped. However if the server.lock does not exist AND the server is not |
|---|
| | | * running the mechanism should work most of the times (see failing case 3). |
|---|
| | | * |
|---|
| | | * The cases where this mechanism does not work are: |
|---|
| | | * |
|---|
| | | * 1. The user deletes/renames the locks directory. |
|---|
| | | * 2. The user deletes/renames the server.lock file AND the server is running. |
|---|
| | | * 3. The server is not running but the user that is running the code does not |
|---|
| | | * have file system access rights. |
|---|
| | | * 4. The server is not running and another process has a lock on the file. |
|---|
| | | * @return <CODE>true</CODE> if the server is running and <CODE>false</CODE> |
|---|
| | | * otherwise. |
