running with a policy file and system properties

[Eric Bloch]

I'm walking down the task of making a product that uses httpclient run 
underneath a server with a java policy file.

I know httpclient makes threads and sockets and I believe I have these 
"under control" (will be allowed or disabled), but I've seen some code 
in the 2.0 code base that does

    System.getProperties().getProperty("foo").
Why would you do that instead of System.getProperty("foo") (which 
requires only read access to the property rather than full read/write 
access to all properties) ?

In general, in a server with a policy file, you shouldn't ever depend on 
reading a property (because you might get a SecurityException).  I need 
to either (1) catch the SecurityException or (2) use a simpler version 
of the code that can be enabled without giving access to all system 
properties.
