Get the name of a calling class without the use of Exceptions
java
Solution
a) no need to use Exception, you can do this: `Thread.currentThread().getStackTrace()`
b) whatever you are trying to do, don't do it that way. That sounds awful. I guess you should be looking into logging via AOP (here's a small tutorial that looks reasonable).
Problem
Yes, getting the class name by using an exception is a plausible solution, but I'm looking for something that is a bit more elegant. ``` String className = new Exception().getStackTrace()[1].getClassName(); ``` This will be used mainly for logging purposes and making sure my cache keywords are component/caller-class specific.
