package sun.security.action;

import java.security.Security;

A convenience class for retrieving the boolean value of a security 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 security property named "prop" as a privileged action:

boolean b = java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged
             (new GetBooleanSecurityPropertyAction("prop")).booleanValue();
/** * A convenience class for retrieving the boolean value of a security property * as a privileged action. * * <p>An instance of this class can be used as the argument of * <code>AccessController.doPrivileged</code>. * * <p>The following code retrieves the boolean value of the security * property named <code>"prop"</code> as a privileged action: <p> * * <pre> * boolean b = java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged * (new GetBooleanSecurityPropertyAction("prop")).booleanValue(); * </pre> * */
public class GetBooleanSecurityPropertyAction implements java.security.PrivilegedAction<Boolean> { private String theProp;
Constructor that takes the name of the security property whose boolean value needs to be determined.
Params:
  • theProp – the name of the security property

Determines the boolean value of the security property whose name was specified in the constructor.
Returns:the Boolean value of the security property.
