RAFContainer.privGetRandomAccessFile() unwraps wrong exception type
-------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: DERBY-5173
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5173
             Project: Derby
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Store
    Affects Versions: 10.7.1.1
            Reporter: Knut Anders Hatlen
            Assignee: Knut Anders Hatlen


RAFContainer.privGetRandomAccessFile() catches and unwraps 
PrivilegedActionExceptions raised in the privileged code:

        catch( PrivilegedActionException pae){ 
            throw (StandardException) pae.getException();
        }

The problem is that the privileged code is this:

         case GET_RANDOM_ACCESS_FILE_ACTION: {
             return actionFile.getRandomAccessFile("rw");
                 } // end of case BACKUP_CONTAINER_ACTION

getRandomAccessFile() only has one checked exception, and that is 
FileNotFoundException. If it ever happens to raise FNFE, 
privGetRandomAccessFile() will fail with a ClassCastException and hide the 
underlying error.
