<h1><B>{@systemProperty java.security.debug}</B></h1>
<p> To monitor security access, you can set the <code>java.security.debug</code>
system property, which determines what trace messages are printed during
execution. The value of the property is one or more options separated by a
comma.
</p>
<h2>Printing Thread and Timestamp Information</h2>
<p>
You can append the following strings to any option specified in the
<code>java.security.debug</code> system property to print additional
information:
<ul>
<li><code>+thread</code>: Print thread and caller information</li>
<li><code>+timestamp</code>: Print timestamp information</li>
</ul>
<p>
For example, to add thread, caller, and timestamp information to all
debugging output, set the <code>java.security.debug</code> system property
on the command line as follows:
<pre><code>java -Djava.security.debug=all+thread+timestamp MyApp</code></pre>
<p>The following table lists the <code>java.security.debug</code> options:</p>
