  Stack Trace: java.security.AccessControlException: Access denied

Local fix

• Grant the code in the stacktrace with the permission to read the
  system properties.
  

Problem summary

• The problem is caused when a trusted bootstrap code retrieves a
  system property without proper protection with
  AccessController.doPrivileged, and a security
  AccessControlException is thrown when the application caller
  code is found without such permissions.
  

Problem conclusion

• The JVM has been updated to prevent such AccessControlException.
