GetIntegerAction

Class Overview

A convenience class for retrieving the integer 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 integer value of the system property named "prop" as a privileged action. Since it does not pass a default value to be used in case the property "prop" is not defined, it has to check the result for null:

 Integer tmp = java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged
     (new sun.security.action.GetIntegerAction("prop"));
 int i;
 if (tmp != null) {
     i = tmp.intValue();
 }
 

The following code retrieves the integer value of the system property named "prop" as a privileged action, and also passes a default value to be used in case the property "prop" is not defined:

 int i = ((Integer)java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(
                         new GetIntegerAction("prop", 3))).intValue();
 

Summary

[Expand] Inherited Methods
From class java.lang.Object Object clone() Creates and returns a copy of this object. boolean equals(Object obj) Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one. void finalize() Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object. final Class<?> getClass() Returns the runtime class of this Object. int hashCode() Returns a hash code value for the object. final void notify() Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor. final void notifyAll() Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor. String toString() Returns a string representation of the object. final void wait() Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object. final void wait(long timeout, int nanos) Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object, or some other thread interrupts the current thread, or a certain amount of real time has elapsed. final void wait(long timeout) Causes the current thread to wait until either another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object, or a specified amount of time has elapsed.
From interface java.security.PrivilegedAction abstract T run() Performs the computation.
