hi

well... either you place your implementation in a package that
has access to the internals. or you could create a security
manager extensions and use the protected method or you don't
use the access control provider to retrieve the information
needed. e.g. you could also check if the acl node you are
looking for really exists... again these are again just
suggestions, how you could get there...

regards
angela
