## Class GuardedObject

- java.lang.Object
- - java.security.GuardedObject

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable

      public class GuardedObject
      extends Object
      implements Serializable

  A GuardedObject is an object that is used to protect access to another object.

  A GuardedObject encapsulates a target object and a Guard object, such that access to the target object is possible only if the Guard object allows it. Once an object is encapsulated by a GuardedObject, access to that object is controlled by the `getObject` method, which invokes the `checkGuard` method on the Guard object that is guarding access. If access is not allowed, an exception is thrown.
