Class InconsistentException

  java.lang.Throwable
      java.lang.Exception
          java.lang.RuntimeException
              uk.ac.ic.doc.automed.InconsistentException

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class InconsistentException
extends java.lang.RuntimeException

A manipulation of the repository that should always succeed has failed. This will be caused when two users (or two Java applications) are operating on the same repository, since the AutoMed system at present implements no concurrency control. If the message persists, then recreate the repository. If the above is not the case, then there must be a bug in the AutoMed system, which should be reported.
