Mitesh Meswani commented on OPENJPA-244:
----------------------------------------
Including a class like J2DoPrivHelper as part of trusted code might be
dangerous from security point of view. For example. some malicious code that
otherwise does not enough privileges can now call
J2DoPrivHelper.getDeclaredFields() to get access to fields of a class. AFAIK,
there is no easy way to completely factor out doPrivileged blocks without
compromising secuity :(
