Class GetIntegerAction

java.lang.Object
com.sun.jini.action.GetIntegerAction
All Implemented Interfaces:
PrivilegedAction
public class GetIntegerAction extends Object implements PrivilegedAction
A convenience class for retrieving the int value of a system property as a privileged action.

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

The following code retrieves the int 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 = (Integer)
     Security.doPrivileged(new GetIntegerAction("prop"));
 int i;
 if (tmp != null) {
     i = tmp.intValue();
 }

The following code retrieves the int 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) Security.doPrivileged(
                 new GetIntegerAction("prop", 3))).intValue();

If the protection domain of the immediate caller of doPrivileged or the protection domain of this class does not imply the permissions necessary for the operation, the behavior is as if the system property is not defined.

  • Method Details

    • run

      public Object run()
      Determines the int value of the system property whose name was specified in the constructor. The value is returned in an Integer object.

      If the system property is defined to be a value that can be parsed successfully by Integer.decode, then this method returns an Integer with the parsed value. Otherwise, if a default value was supplied to this object's constructor, then this method returns an Integer with that default value, or else null is returned.

      Specified by:
      run in interface PrivilegedAction
      Returns:
      an Integer representing the value of the system property or the default value, or null
