Examples: lock method (Form - Java™)

This agent attempts to lock the form named "Main" for all members of the "Guys" group. Locking is successful if the form is not yet locked, or the form is locked but the effective user is a member of Guys. A provisional lock is allowed if the administration server is not available.
