| This exception is thrown by
doPrivileged(PrivilegedExceptionAction) and
doPrivileged(PrivilegedExceptionAction,
AccessControlContext context) to indicate
that the action being performed threw a checked exception. The exception
thrown by the action can be obtained by calling the
getException method. In effect, an
PrivilegedActionException is a "wrapper"
for an exception thrown by a privileged action.
As of release 1.4, this exception has been retrofitted to conform to
the general purpose exception-chaining mechanism. The "exception thrown
by the privileged computation" that is provided at construction time and
accessed via the
PrivilegedActionException.getException() method is now known as the
cause, and may be accessed via the
Throwable.getCause method, as well as the aforementioned "legacy method."
