Method Detail

getFrom

public String getFrom()

Get the trace information on our caller.

Returns:

file and line information where getFrom() was called.

getFrom

public String getFrom(int back)

Get the trace information on our caller.

Parameters:

back - Levels back we need to see. Each level corresponds to a method call. For example if getting the value in a debugging method and you need to know where it the original line is from use a 'back' value of 1.

Returns:

file and line information where getFrom() was called.

getStackTrace

public static String getStackTrace()

Return a stack trace from the current process. The stack trace does not include this method but starts at the calling method. This makes the call to getStackTrace() invisible.

Returns:

String containing the stack trace.

getStackTrace

public static String getStackTrace(Throwable th)

Return a stack trace from a Throwable or Exception object.

Parameters:

th - Throwable or Exception.

Returns:

String containing the stack trace.

isRecursing

public static boolean isRecursing(String method)

Check for recursion of the named method.

Parameters:

method - Name of method hopefully including the class name. If the method name is incorrect recursion will never be detected.

Returns:

True if recursion is present.

main

public static final void main(String[] a)

toString

public String toString()
