Method Detail

getCallerClass

public static final Class getCallerClass(Class clazz)
                                  throws SecurityException
Find the caller of the passed in Class. May return null if caller not found on execution stack

Parameters:
clazz - the Class to search for on stack to find caller of
Returns:
the Class of object that called parrameter class
Throws:
SecurityException - if an existing SecurityManager disallows construction of another SecurityManager and thus blocks method results

getCallerMethod

public static final String getCallerMethod(Class clazz)
Get the method path name for the method from which the LogEvent was created, this includes the path name and the source filename and line number if the source was compiled with debugging on.

Returns:
The method path name in the form "the.package.path.Method"

getRecentStack

public static final String getRecentStack(Class clazz,
                                          int entries)
Return the current call stack as a String, starting with the first call in the stack after a reference to the clazz class, and then display entries entries.

This can be useful for debugging code to determine where calls to a method are coming from.

Parameters:
clazz - the last class on the stack you are not interested in!
entries - the number of stack lines to return.
Returns:
The method path name in the form "the.package.path.Method"
