Hi Volker,

We do not have locking support and I don't know enough about it to
give you a definitive answer. But JCIFS is fairly easy to hack on and
locking flags are decoded (e.g.
jcifs/smb/SmbComNTCreateAndXResponse.java). If there is a way to do
what you want it's probably not too difficult to do with JCIFS.
