How to get the Class name of an API method?

Like most of us, it's difficult to know where every method within a Java class is. Also, many of the same methods are scattered throughout Java Classes. I know of two methods that retreive this... getClass().getName(). But, you must have an object to use these. Is there a way to find out what Class contains a method or Class variable thru an Applet or Java Application?? Obviously, I can look at API Docs; but this takes time.

I would also like to know how we get the DOM object ID for particular item.Use firebug or inspect the source code of the rendered page to see the object IDs. Other then then, the typical ID of page items is the name of the item. For regions you can set your own ID.

Me, I've either been a modeller/DBA, doling out data, or a nuts and bolts programmer (and actually more toolmaker than apps, but did a bit of that too).
    Do you know of a good book about the "middle ground" (ie, these service layers)? I understand it empirically, but haven't had a lot of exposure to it.

    PS: Apologies. Edited my previous post, presumably while you were composing your reply, when I finally realized what '.filed' meant.Most of my work is in web development, never been a DBA :) . The biggest 'concern' in my shop is 'separation of concerns'. The UI group reports up to a different IT head, the DB group reports up to a different IT head and so on. The looser the coupling between these systems, the lesser the project costs (Integration, QA etc) are. Martin Fowler's books contain good information about separation of concerns in an enterprise environment. The two books which i recommend are

  • How to get the class name  static method which exists in the parent class

    Hi,
    How to know the name of the class or reference to instance of the class with in the main/static method
    in the below example
    class AbstA
    public static void main(String[] args)
    System.out.println(getXXClass().getName());
    public class A extends AbstA
    public class B extends AbstA
    on compile all the class and run of
    java A
    should print A as the name
    java B
    should print B as the name
    Are there any suggestions to know the class name in the static method, which is in the parent class.
    Regards,
    Raja Nagendra Kumar

    Well, there's a hack you can use, but if you think you need it,Could you let me the hack solution for this..
    you probably have a design flaw and/or a misunderstanding about how to use Java.)May be, but my needs seems to be very genuine..of not repeat the main method contents in every inherited class..
    The need we have is this
    I have the test cases inheriting from common base class.
    When the main method of the test class is run, it is supposed to find all other test cases, which belong to same package and subpackages and create a entire suite and run the entire suite.
    In the above need of the logic we wrote in the main method could handle any class provided it knows what is the child class from which this main is called.
    I applicate your inputs on a better way to design without replicating the code..
    In my view getClass() should have been static as the instance it returns is one for all its instances of that class.
    I know there are complications the way compiler handles static vars and methods.. May be there is a need for OO principals to advance..

  • How to get the class name of all available subclasses

    Hi there!
    Im developing an eComerce site as part of my studies this semester using JSP and mySQL. It's part of a bigger management system for a fictional company.
    In the user interface, when adding new products to be available for sale on the website, I want the administrator to be able to choose what kind of product is being added. In the database I have the superclass[i] products with subclasses[i] harddrives, monitors etc.. The question is, can I somehow get the names of the subclasses constrained to a certain superclass? Maybe this question is more related to SQL querys than to JSP, but any help is appreciated:-)

    First of all it is not conventional (or at least I find it very confusing) to call things as super class or sub class when referring to them in the database.
    Why? because super class and sub class are really concepts in Object Oriented Programming languages, and probably (not sure) in Object Oriented Databases.
    So I would call them main categories of products and sub categories of products.
    And in databases I assume you have tables?
    So say the table with main categories would have a primary key and a text field. The primary key is just like an index, and the text field holds the Main Category.
    Similarly you would have another table representing sub categories.
    But how would you associate a set of sub categories to each main category?
    For this you would need a Foreign Key in the sub categories table.
    The foreign key of a sub category maps to the primary key of the main category. Get it? If not you'll need to learn relational databases.
    So if you know SQL you could write a SELECT statement in MySQL as follows:
    SELECT product_category_name FROM product_sub_category psc, product_main_category psm WHERE psc.product_main_category = psm.product_main_category AND psm.product_main_category = 'Whatever Cagegory Name';

  • How to i get the class name ? please help me

    hi friends
    i want to know how to get the class name from my java program
    public class sample
    public static void main(String args[])
    how to i get sample.
    please help me.
    thanks in advance                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

    I can't recall which forum member gave the following solution, but it works
    in static contexts and it's copy-and-paste friendly -- you don't hard-code the
    name of the class, only a dummy class that you use to make this hack work:
    public class Foo {
        private static class Dummy{}
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            Class cls = Dummy.class.getEnclosingClass();
            String name = cls.getName();
            System.out.println(name);
    }

    Hey john,
    My requirement is as follows
    I have created a Rank for Total sales by Region wise i.e RANK(SUM(Dollars By Region)) in a pivot table.
    My pivot table looks like this
    COLUMN SELECTOR: TOTAL US , REGION , DISTRICT , MARKET
    ---------------------------------------------------- JAN 2009          FEB 2009        MAR 2009
    RANK              REGION                  DOLLARS           DOLLARS        DOLLARS DOLLARS

  • How to get the function name/ID  of the current page

    HI,
    I searched the forum and google, but it is not clear on how to get the function name of the current page.
    I have 4 functions in my self service A ,B,C,D (seeded page links ) they all have to go to a page called hhhPG. Based on which function user is clicks I have to show the data in hhhPG.
    so my question is how to get the function name ? I mean I need to know if user click on link A , B, C or D link and came to this page.
    I found below in one forum and also there is getfunctionID in pageContext , but I do not know what to pass to getfunctionid("???") to get value.
    FunctionSecurity funcSecurity = pageContext.getFunctionSecurity();
    Or is there a better way of know where user is coming from ? like geturl....
    Please help, I need this ASAP.
    Thank you.

    Use below to find out how the user came into the page
    FunctionSecurity funcSecurity = pageContext.getFunctionSecurity();
    boolean isFunc1 = funcSecurity.testFunction(funcSecurity.getFunction("YOUR_FUNCTION_SHORT_NAME1"));
    boolean isFunc2 = funcSecurity.testFunction(funcSecurity.getFunction("YOUR_FUNCTION_SHORT_NAME2"));
    boolean isFunc3 = funcSecurity.testFunction(funcSecurity.getFunction("YOUR_FUNCTION_SHORT_NAME3"));
    boolean isFunc4 = funcSecurity.testFunction(funcSecurity.getFunction("YOUR_FUNCTION_SHORT_NAME4"));
    So one of them will be true based on the function the user came in.
    Write your logic based on these flags.
    Regards,
    Peddi.
