/**
 * A convenience class for retrieving the integer value of a system property
 * as a privileged action.
 *
 * <p>An instance of this class can be used as the argument of
 * <code>AccessController.doPrivileged</code>.
 *
 * <p>The following code retrieves the integer value of the system
 * property named <code>"prop"</code> as a privileged action. Since it does
 * not pass a default value to be used in case the property
 * <code>"prop"</code> is not defined, it has to check the result for
 * <code>null</code>: <p>
 *
 * <pre>
 * Integer tmp = (Integer)java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged
 *     (new sun.security.action.GetIntegerAction("prop"));
 * int i;
 * if (tmp != null) {
 *     i = tmp.intValue();
 * }
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>The following code retrieves the integer value of the system
 * property named <code>"prop"</code> as a privileged action, and also passes
 * a default value to be used in case the property <code>"prop"</code> is not
 * defined: <p>
 *
 * <pre>
 * int i = ((Integer)java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(
 *                         new GetIntegerAction("prop", 3))).intValue();
