How to know the name of the (parent) method that invoked another method

Hi,

I am working to build my own Exception.

If I have a method B that produces an exception, can I know the name of the method A that invoked method B, in order to trace it?

This is specially useful in utility classes that uses JDBC to get data.

Thanks very much,

Regards,

Lorenzo Jimenez

Just create a java.lang.Exception and it'll be in the stack trace info.

You know that you don't have to add the stack trace to an exception yourself - right?

another fair point! this is what comes of answering the subject line rather than the post.....

on the ball as usual, Joe
