In code base, several classes use thread context class loader via

Is it necessary to call this method within Priviledge Action?
We aren't capable of running with a Security Manager installed, mostly
due to third party libs. , so it's not really required currently. If
there isn't much overhead to doing the call we can certainly add the
doPrivilaged syntax.
And moreover,
what happens if this method returns null ?
Can that method return null?
PS : Sorry for my questions if it seems stupid. I just try to
understand the
internal of the code base.
No, questions are great. They help everyone understand the code
better, not just you. I love it when there's someone new on the
project and they start asking all sorts of questions. Usually brings
out some good information and potential documentation. Ask away!
