package sun.security.action;

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();
