#### 2.2 Implementation Tasks
- [ ] Implement persistent/durable handle contexts
- [ ] Add handle GUID generation and tracking
- [ ] Implement handle state serialization
- [ ] Create reconnection logic with handle replay
- [ ] Add timeout management for durable handles
- [ ] Implement handle lease association

### 5.2 Tree Connection Integration
```java
// In SmbTree.java
public void connectWithWitnessSupport() throws IOException {
    // Perform normal tree connection
    super.connect();
    
    // Register for witness notifications for this share
    if (session.isWitnessEnabled()) {

     */
    long getDurableHandleTimeout();

    /**
     * Property {@code jcifs.smb.client.handleReconnectRetries}, defaults to 3
     *
     * @return maximum number of retry attempts for handle reconnection
     */

    /**
     * Enable SMB3 Multi-Channel support
     *
     * Property {@code jcifs.smb.client.useMultiChannel} (boolean, default true)
     *

    
    // Getters and increment methods
}
```

## 12. Future Enhancements

1. **Directory Leases**: Extend lease support for directories
2. **Lease Key Persistence**: Save lease keys for reconnection
3. **Parent-Child Relationships**: Implement hierarchical leases
4. **Lease Sharing**: Support lease sharing across handles

        // Validates simple property delegation to the connection
        when(treeConnection.getTreeType()).thenReturn(7);
        when(treeConnection.getConnectedShare()).thenReturn("SHARE");
        assertEquals(7, handle.getTreeType());
        assertEquals("SHARE", handle.getConnectedShare());
        verify(treeConnection).getTreeType();
        verify(treeConnection).getConnectedShare();
    }

        URLConnection connection = handler.openConnection(url);

        assertNotNull(connection, "Connection should not be null.");
        assertTrue(connection instanceof NtlmHttpURLConnection, "Connection should be an instance of NtlmHttpURLConnection.");
    }
