Have you looked into the "Check Out" and "Check In" processes that

If I understand the CHKIN & CHKOUT commands correctly, this would create a static lock that would persist after the connection from the java app was dropped. I don't want this.

I want to create a system level lock to prevent the same application, running on two workstations, from performing the same function at the same time.
