[Exist-open] database goes into read only mode

[James F. <jam...@gm...>]

I have noticed that eXist, when it gets its knickers in a twist, will
switch to read only mode...can we have some clarification when this
state occurs and what triggers such a thing...

also,

I have found that the various different interfaces behave differently
when read only mode gets enabled

e.g. an eXist xmldb that is thrown into read only state is still
updatable via xml-rpc, but not via RESTful interface....is this just a
matter of incompleteness ?
