Follow
In the readAccess(Runnable r) method, the call to lock.lock() must occur before the try block. Also, the method name "readAccess" is confusing, because it's not acquiring a read-only mutex (multi-threading), but a read-write mutex (single threading).
How do you stop unprivileged users from using the privileged constructor, thus gaining access to the privileged API?
