Re: Getting Information on a Calling Class

I have a case where I'd like to return different data depending
on which class is calling the current class.
Is there any way to get the instance of the object that called
a method?

interface Caller
{
}
class Callee
{
public void callMe( Caller caller )
{
doSomethingWith( caller );
}
}
class ACaller implements Caller
{
public void someMethod()
{
Callee callee = new Callee();
callee.callMe( this );
}
}
