object package from object name

Say I had:

int num;

double dec;

String str;

ArrayList arr;

Object obj;

I want to take a String that is the name of an Object and return a String that is the package of the Object.

For example, if the String was "arr", the method would return "java.util.ArrayList".

I looked at the Reflection API, but I couldn't find anything that did this. How do I do this?
