How to get class name of a object in run time, from its accessible context.

Hi,
I need to get the class name of a java object in run-time, given the AccessibleContext of that object.
I gone through the AccessibleContext api documentation. but there is not way to get the class name for a java object using its AccessibleContext object.
Do any one have any idea how to get the class name of an java object, given its accessible object Accessible.
Thanks

How to get CLASS name for the generic item?

Hi,
I wrote following method to create a service instance.

I don't know if I understand your question, but you cannot find the class name because it is in run time just an object. You can, however, check if it is an instanceof.
if (genericType instanceof MyType) {
     doMyThing();
}

How to build sql query for view object at run time

Hi,
I have a LOV on my form that is created from a view object.
View object is read-only and is created from a SQL query.
SQL query consists of few input parameters and table joins.
My scenario is such that if input parameters are passed, i have to join extra tables, otherwise, only one table can fetch the results I need.
Can anyone please suggest, how I can solve this? I want to build the query for view object at run time based on the values passed to input parameters.
Thanks
Srikanth Addanki

As I understand you want to change the query at run time.
If this is what you want, you can use setQuery Method then use executeQuery.

On command prompt to execute any java program we give :
C : \.-- > java ClassName
This ClassName I need in my application, I want to do some post processing on that.
Actually see what I want :
public class Base
static Base object;
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
object=(Base)Class.forName("Derived Class Name").newInstance();
void main()
public class Derived extends Base
void main()
System.out.println("Hello World");
I am trying to Run Derived Class, since there is no entry point found, default JVM invoke the Base class's entry point, there I want to load
Derived Class, but I am not getting any identity of derived class in Base class.
I found one temporary solution to this problem :
C: \ -- >java Derived Derived
& in Base class, I have loaded class
object=Class.forName(args[0]).newInstance();
But I dont want to write the same thing twise just to know the Class name which is given along with java.exe.
Is there any way to get the ClassName supplied with java.exe

How to get class name and method name within a class method?

Hi,
In a java class, is it possible to get its class name and the class method?
Please advise.
Thank you.

I mean whether there's any built-in command that will
return the class name instead of code it ourself, for
easier maintenance.
Possible?
this.getClass().getName();

How to get the name of the clicked menu option dynamically from oracle form

Hi folks,
I need to know inside the forms which one was the menu option clicked by the user to open the module.
Is that possible?
Thanks a lot,

I don't think that's possible but since you can't create menu items at runtime it's not relevant. Just set a global variable to the menu item's name in the code of each menu item.

How to create object by getting class name as input

hi
i need to create object for the existing classes by getting class name as input from the user at run time.
how can i do it.
for exapmle ExpnEvaluation is a class, i will get this class name as input and store it in a string
String classname = "ExpnEvaluation";
now how can i create object for the class ExpnEvaluation by using the string classname in which the class name is storted
Thanks in advance

i think we have to cast it, can u help me how to cast
the obj to the classname that i get as inputThat's exactly the point why you shouldn't be doing this. You can't have a dynamic cast at compile time already. It doesn't make sense. Which is also the reason why class.forName().newInstance() is a very nice but also often very useless tool, unless the classes loaded all share a mutual interface.

How do you get the name of an object?

if i create an object...
Obj1 = new MyObject();
is there some way to get the name of the
object "Obj1" inside the object.
thanks for any help.

is your example. Obj1 is the name you have given to a reference of an object. You could have said "fred = new MyObject()" right? The compiler doesn't deal with these high level names you gave your objects for the most part. It throws them away. So there is no way to get back the name from inside the object. You can get the name of the type of object from inside it though. If need be. this.getClass().getName() will be the fully qualified type of the object.

How to get the values of the objects inside an object??

Hi,
I am trying to write code to display name and memory usage of all session attributes, in a recursive way.
I suppose reflection is needed here, but I cant figure out how to get the values of the objects inside an object...
private void handleIt(String attributeName, Object attributeValue) {
     boolean isPrimitiveOrNull = ((null == attributeValue) ||
          (attributeValue.getClass().isPrimitive()));
     if (isPrimitiveOrNull) {
          sb.append("{" + attributeName + ":" + sizeOf(attributeValue) + "}");
     } else {
          sb.append("{" + attributeName + ":" + sizeOf(attributeValue) + "{");
          Field[] fields = attributeValue.getClass().getDeclaredFields();
          int lim = fields.length;
          String name;
          Object value = null;
          for (int i = 0; i < lim; i++) {
               name = fields.getName();
               //LOOK AT THIS LINE: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
               value = fields[i].get(obj); //I don´t know what 'obj' should be??
               handleIt(name, value);
          sb.append("}");
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated...

I realized that massive int objects called MAX_VALUE, MIN_VALUE and SIZE where causing the StackOverflow, so I removed them from the analysis.
This is the resultant code. But I think it isnt accurate in calculating the real size of objects being got using reflexion.
Do you or somebody have any more suggestions?

Getting class name without it's package.

Hi.
How can I get only class name of an object?
obj.getClass().getName() returns the full package hierarchy.
Any simple ideas?

Is there any method that do it automatically?What do you mean automatically? You mean a single method so that you don't have to write any code? That's a very small amount of code to write, and you can put it inside a method you create yourself.
Or you could use regex, though some may find that to be overkill. String classOnly = theClass.getName().replaceAll(".*\\.(.*)", "$1");
