Actually, AccessController is throwing an exception to indicate that a requested access (to a critical system resource such as the file system or the network) is denied.

Also, just catching an exception and doing nothing is also a bad practise. The least you could have done is to print the stack trace where you are catching the exception. You could have found out the actual cause of error.
