/**

 * <p> The AccessController class is used for access control operations

 * and decisions.

 *

 * <p> More specifically, the AccessController class is used for

 * three purposes:

 *

 * <ul>

 * <li> to decide whether an access to a critical system

 * resource is to be allowed or denied, based on the security policy

 * currently in effect,<p>

 * <li>to mark code as being "privileged", thus affecting subsequent

 * access determinations, and<p>

 * <li>to obtain a "snapshot" of the current calling context so

 * access-control decisions from a different context can be made with

 * respect to the saved context. </ul>

 *

 * <p> The {@link #checkPermission(Permission) checkPermission} method

 * determines whether the access request indicated by a specified

 * permission should be granted or denied. A sample call appears

 * below. In this example, <code>checkPermission</code> will determine

 * whether or not to grant "read" access to the file named "testFile" in

 * the "/temp" directory.

 *

 * <pre>

 *

 * FilePermission perm = new FilePermission("/temp/testFile", "read");

 * AccessController.checkPermission(perm);

 *

 * </pre>

 *

 * <p> If a requested access is allowed,

 * <code>checkPermission</code> returns quietly. If denied, an

 * AccessControlException is

 * thrown. AccessControlException can also be thrown if the requested

 * permission is of an incorrect type or contains an invalid value.

 * Such information is given whenever possible.

 *

 * Suppose the current thread traversed m callers, in the order of caller 1

 * to caller 2 to caller m. Then caller m invoked the

 * <code>checkPermission</code> method.

 * The <code>checkPermission </code>method determines whether access

 * is granted or denied based on the following algorithm:

 *

 *  <pre> {@code

 * for (int i = m; i > 0; i--) {

 *

 *     if (caller i's domain does not have the permission)

 *         throw AccessControlException

 *

 *     else if (caller i is marked as privileged) {

 *         if (a context was specified in the call to doPrivileged)

 *             context.checkPermission(permission)

 *     }

 *

 * // Next, check the context inherited when the thread was created.

 * // Whenever a new thread is created, the AccessControlContext at

 * // that time is stored and associated with the new thread, as the

 * // "inherited" context.

 *

 * inheritedContext.checkPermission(permission);

 * }</pre>

 *

 * <p> A caller can be marked as being "privileged"

 * (see {@link #doPrivileged(PrivilegedAction) doPrivileged} and below).

 * When making access control decisions, the <code>checkPermission</code>

 * method stops checking if it reaches a caller that

 * was marked as "privileged" via a <code>doPrivileged</code>

 * call without a context argument (see below for information about a

 * context argument). If that caller's domain has the

 * <code>checkPermission</code>

 * returns quietly, indicating that the requested access is allowed.

 * If that domain does not have the specified permission, an exception

 *

 * <p> The normal use of the "privileged" feature is as follows. If you

 * don't need to return a value from within the "privileged" block, do

 * the following:

 *

 *  <pre> {@code

 * somemethod() {

 *     ...normal code here...

 *     AccessController.doPrivileged(new PrivilegedAction<Void>() {

 *         public Void run() {

 *             // privileged code goes here, for example:

 *             System.loadLibrary("awt");

 *             return null; // nothing to return

 *         }

 *     });

 *     ...normal code here...

 * }}</pre>

 *

 * <p>

 * PrivilegedAction is an interface with a single method, named

 * <code>run</code>.

 * The above example shows creation of an implementation

 * of that interface; a concrete implementation of the

 * <code>run</code> method is supplied.

 * When the call to <code>doPrivileged</code> is made, an

 * instance of the PrivilegedAction implementation is passed

 * to it. The <code>doPrivileged</code> method calls the

 * <code>run</code> method from the PrivilegedAction

 * implementation after enabling privileges, and returns the

 * <code>run</code> method's return value as the

 * <code>doPrivileged</code> return value (which is

 * ignored in this example).

 *

 * <p> If you need to return a value, you can do something like the following:

 *

 *  <pre> {@code

 * somemethod() {

 *     ...normal code here...

 *     String user = AccessController.doPrivileged(

 *         new PrivilegedAction<String>() {

 *         public String run() {

 *             return System.getProperty("user.name");

 *             }

 *         });

 *     ...normal code here...

 * }}</pre>

 *

 * <p>If the action performed in your <code>run</code> method could

 * throw a "checked" exception (those listed in the <code>throws</code> clause

 * of a method), then you need to use the

 * <code>PrivilegedExceptionAction</code> interface instead of the

 * <code>PrivilegedAction</code> interface:

 *

 *  <pre> {@code

 * somemethod() throws FileNotFoundException {

 *     ...normal code here...

 *     try {

 *         FileInputStream fis = AccessController.doPrivileged(

 *         new PrivilegedExceptionAction<FileInputStream>() {

 *             public FileInputStream run() throws FileNotFoundException {

 *                 return new FileInputStream("someFile");

 *             }

 *         });

 *     } catch (PrivilegedActionException e) {

 *         // e.getException() should be an instance of FileNotFoundException,

 *         // as only "checked" exceptions will be "wrapped" in a

 *         // PrivilegedActionException.

 *         throw (FileNotFoundException) e.getException();

 *     }

 *     ...normal code here...

 *  }}</pre>

 *

 * <p> Be *very* careful in your use of the "privileged" construct, and

 * always remember to make the privileged code section as small as possible.

 *

 * <p> Note that <code>checkPermission</code> always performs security checks

 * within the context of the currently executing thread.

 * Sometimes a security check that should be made within a given context

 * will actually need to be done from within a

 * <i>different</i> context (for example, from within a worker thread).

 * The {@link #getContext() getContext} method and

 * AccessControlContext class are provided

 * for this situation. The <code>getContext</code> method takes a "snapshot"

 * of the current calling context, and places

 * it in an AccessControlContext object, which it returns. A sample call is

 * the following:

 *

 * <pre>

 *

 * AccessControlContext acc = AccessController.getContext()

 *

 * </pre>

 *

 * <p>

 * AccessControlContext itself has a <code>checkPermission</code> method

 * that makes access decisions based on the context <i>it</i> encapsulates,

 * rather than that of the current execution thread.

 * Code within a different context can thus call that method on the

 * previously-saved AccessControlContext object. A sample call is the

 * following:

 *

 * <pre>

 *

 * acc.checkPermission(permission)

 *

 * </pre>

 *

 * <p> There are also times where you don't know a priori which permissions

 * to check the context against. In these cases you can use the

 *

 *  <pre> {@code

 * somemethod() {

 *     AccessController.doPrivileged(new PrivilegedAction<Object>() {

 *         public Object run() {

 *             // Code goes here. Any permission checks within this

 *             // run method will require that the intersection of the

 *         }

 *     ...normal code here...

 * }}</pre>
