Hi, I have a Utility Class with methods. Is there any way to print/log the caller? I mean from which class and which method calling this Utility class method.Thanks.
In JDK 5 or laterSystem.getStackTrace()beforenew Throwable().getStackTrace()Read the API for those methods and for StackTraceElement.Most times, however, this info is not needed. What, exactly, is it you want to do?

Ugly way: look at System's stacktrace.Not-so-ugly-but-still-not-likeable way: let the calling instance pass itself (this) as a method argument, if possible to overloaded methods.Good way: don't care
