NPersistence Reference Guide
Find by primary key and lock. Search for an entity of the specified class and primary key and lock it with respect to the specified lock type. If the entity instance is contained in the persistence context, it is returned from there, and the effect of this method is the same as if the lock method had been called on the entity. If the entity is found within the persistence context and the lock mode type is pessimistic and the entity has a version attribute, the persistence provider must perform optimistic version checks when obtaining the database lock. If these checks fail, the OptimisticLockException will be thrown. If the lock mode type is pessimistic and the entity instance is found but cannot be locked:
  • the PessimisticLockException will be thrown if the database locking failure causes transaction-level rollback
  • the LockTimeoutException will be thrown if the database locking failure causes only statement-level rollback
