NPersistence Reference Guide
Lock an entity instance that is contained in the persistence context with the specified lock mode type. If a pessimistic lock mode type is specified and the entity contains a version attribute, the persistence provider must also 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
