Claim 17:
18. A computer-implemented method of facilitating processing within a clustered computing environment, the computer-implemented method comprising:
saving by an application server executing on a logical partition of the clustered computing environment, based on the logical partition of the clustered computing environment acquiring a resource lock, a lock information record to a shared data structure of the clustered computing environment, the lock information record including identification data identifying a user-owner of the resource lock acquired on the logical partition executing the application server; and
referencing, by another application server of the clustered computing environment, the lock information record of the shared data structure to ascertain the identification data identifying the user-owner of the resource lock to facilitate processing within the clustered computing environment, wherein the shared data structure resides on a database of the clustered computing environment separate from the logical partition and accessible by the application server and by the other application server, and wherein the referencing is based on a request query, and associated expected owner data to facilitate the processing within the clustered computing environment, the expected owner data including expected owner information for the resource lock.
