Thread: Generate IllegalAccessException

I am testing an algorithm for StringSearch and the algorithm has many IllegalAccessExceptions in it.

I wanted to test that the code is working fine with the exceptions...and it is important also to test them as they call some functions when the exception occurs.

I just wanted to know how can i implicitly generate the exception.

I am trying to use the Java Security Manager but don't know how to use it to revoke the program's access to String class.

below is the code that I am testing:
#[code = java]
try {
int o = offset.getInt(text);
char[] t = (char[]) value.get(text);
return instance.searchChars(t, textStart + o, textEnd + o, getChars(pattern), processed) - o;

} catch (IllegalAccessException ex) {
synchronized (activeStringAccess) {
activeStringAccess = new StringAccess();
}
}
[/code]
in above code "offset.getInt(text)" generates the IllegalAccessException
I have tried to use MockIt but MockIt cannot mock the class for getInt i.e. Field.

If you want more, then, your going to have to post more code. What type is "offset"?

On an unrelated note post code using the # [code=java][/code] tags for formatting and making the code easier to read.

The offset is of type Field.

Ok, what type is "text"?

The text and pattern both are of type String
