/**
 * This utility wrapper class is created to support AXIS2 runs
 * inside of Java 2 Security environment. Due to the access control
 * checking algorithm, for Java 2 Security to function properly,
 * <code>doPrivileged()</code>
 * is required in cases where there is application code on the stack frame
 * accessing the system resources (ie, read/write files, opening ports, and etc).
 * This class also improve performance no matther Security Manager is being enabled
 * or not.
 * <p/>
 * Note: This utility should be used properly, otherwise might introduce
 * security holes.
 * <p/>
 * Usage Example:
 * <code>
 * public void changePassword() {
 * ...
 * AccessController.doPrivileged(new PrivilegedAction() {
 * public Object run() {
 * f = Util.openPasswordFile();
 * ...
 * <p/>
 * }
 * });
 * ...
 * }
 * </code>
