How to determine an object's class?

Question

If class B and class C extend class A and I have an object of type B or C, how can I determine of which type

Answer 1

We can use reflection in this case

objectName.getClass().getName();

Example:-

protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {

    String name = request.getClass().getName();
}

In this case you will get name of the class which object pass to HttpServletRequest interface refference variable.
