How can i get the name of the method or exception handle

Question

i just start to programm.
i want to handle exceptions.
there is a try catch procedure.
i want that the catch procedures tells me which method has occured the exception.
so i thought i could handle it like this
public void getAllConstraints(Connection _conn){
try{
catch (SQLException e){
handleException("SQLException", e);
public void handleException(String exceptionName,
Exception e){
System.out.println(exceptionName + " occured in method " +
GETMETHODENNAME);
System.out.println("Exception name: ");
System.err.println(e);
the exceptionname should say for example SQLException, IOException or somthing like this.

You can use the getStackTrace() method:
StackTraceElement stack[] = new Exception().getStackTrace();
// stack[0] is the current method
// stack[1] is the calling method
// etc.
