How to get the profile object in simple java class (Property accessor)

Question

Hi All,
Please guide me how to get the profile object in simple java class (Property accessor) which is extending the RepositoryPropertyDescriptor.
I have one requirement where i need the profile object i.e i have store id which is tied to profile .so i need the profile object in the property accessor of the SKU item descriptor property, which is extending RepositoryPropertyDescriptor.
a.I dont have request object also to do request.resolvename.
b.It is not a component to create setter and getter.It is simple java class which is extending the RepositoryPropertyDescriptor.
Advance Thanks.

Iam afraid you might run into synchronization issues with it. You are trying to get/set value of property of a sku repository item that is shared across various profiles.
Say one profile A called setPropertyValue("propertyName", value).Now another profile B accesses
getPropertyValue() {
super.getPropertyValue() // Chance of getting value set by Profile A.
// Perform logic
There is a chance that profile B getting the value set by Profile A and hence inconsistency.
How about doing this way??
Create PropertyDescriptor in Profile (i.e user item descriptor), pass the attribute CustomCatalogTools in userProfile.xml to that property.
<attribute name="catalogTools" value="atg.commerce.catalog.CustomCatalogTools"/>
getPropertyValue()
//You have Profile item descriptor and also storeId property value.
// Use CustomCatalogTools.findSku();
// Use storeId, profile repository item, sku repository item to perform the logic
Here user itemdescriptor getPropertyValue/setPropertyValue is always called by same profile and there is consistency.
