LockService is the main class for to use for distributed locking functionality. LockService needs access to a JChannel and interacts with a locking protocol (e.g. CENTRAL_LOCK) via events.
When no locking protocol is seen on the channel's stack, LockService will throw an exception at startup. An example of using LockService is:
```
   JChannel ch=new JChannel("/home/bela/locking.xml); // locking.xml needs to have a locking protocol towards the top
   LockService lock_service=new LockService(ch);
   ch.connect("lock-cluster");
   Lock lock=lock_service.getLock("mylock");
   lock.lock();
   try {
      // do something with the lock acquired
   }
   finally {
      lock.unlock();
   }
 
```
The exact semantics of this lock implemantation are defined in LockService.LockImpl.
Note that, contrary to the semantics of Lock, unlock() can be called multiple times; after a lock has been released, future calls to unlock() have no effect.
