Java: How to get a class object of the current class from a static context?

Question

I have a logging function that takes the calling object as a parameter. I then call getClass().getSimpleName() on it so that I can easily get the class name to add to my log en

Answer 1

Instead of "this" use "MyClass.class" and let your log method treat class objects without getClass().

But instead of doing this yourself, consider letting the log framework do it.
