        }
        else {
            System.out.println("Permission not granted");
        }

    {
        try {
            SecurityManager securityManager
                = System.getSecurityManager();
            if (null != securityManager) {
                securityManager.checkPermission(
                    new ReflectPermission(
                        "suppressAccessChecks"));
