Class GuardedObject

    java.lang.Object
      |
      +--java.security.GuardedObject

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Serializable

public class GuardedObject
extends Object
implements Serializable

A GuardedObject is an object that is used to protect access to another object.

A GuardedObject encapsulates a target object and a Guard object, such that access to the target object is possible only if the Guard object allows it. Once an object is encapsulated by a GuardedObject, access to that object is controlled by the `getObject` method, which invokes the `checkGuard` method on the Guard object that is guarding access. If access is not allowed, an exception is thrown.

Method Summary
