No, without a SecurityManager, you can do pretty much anything with 
introspection by at most calling field.setAccessible(true).  This is how the 
WebappClassLoader nulls out static fields when you undeploy a webapp.  It's 
also a big part of the reason that the server ClassLoader went away by 
default, since it didn't really stop anyone from accessing Tomcat core 
classes.
