Resolve class name from bytecode

Question

Is it possible to dig up a classes name from bytecode which is formed from the class\' source code?

The situation is this: I get a classes bytecode remotely from so

Answer 1

You should be able to use javap to disassemble the byte code, if that just happens once in a while.

For doing it at runtime: use a byte-code manipulation library like Apache's BCEL (http://jakarta.apache.org/bcel) to analyse the byte code.
