package sun.security.action;

import java.security.AccessController;

A convenience class for retrieving the boolean value of a system property as a privileged action.

An instance of this class can be used as the argument of AccessController.doPrivileged.

The following code retrieves the boolean value of the system property named "prop" as a privileged action:

boolean b = java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged
             (new GetBooleanAction("prop")).booleanValue();

public class GetBooleanAction implements java.security.PrivilegedAction<Boolean> { private String theProp;
Constructor that takes the name of the system property whose boolean value needs to be determined.
Params:
  • theProp – the name of the system property.
/** * Constructor that takes the name of the system property whose boolean * value needs to be determined. * * @param theProp the name of the system property. */
public GetBooleanAction(String theProp) { this.theProp = theProp; }
Determines the boolean value of the system property whose name was specified in the constructor.
Returns:the Boolean value of the system property.
/** * Determines the boolean value of the system property whose name was * specified in the constructor. * * @return the <code>Boolean</code> value of the system property. */
public Boolean run() { return Boolean.getBoolean(theProp); }
Convenience method to get a property without going through doPrivileged if no security manager is present. This is unsafe for inclusion in a public API but allowable here since this class is now encapsulated. Note that this method performs a privileged action using caller-provided inputs. The caller of this method should take care to ensure that the inputs are not tainted and the returned property is not made accessible to untrusted code if it contains sensitive information.
