How do I print the variable name holding an object?

Question

How do I print the variable name holding my object?

For example, I have:

myclass ob=new myclass()

How would I print \"ob\"?

Answer 1

Try reflection + hash code. E.g.:

String hashcode = ob.hashCode();
String obName;
java.lang.reflect.Field[] fields = 
ob.getClass().getDeclaredFields();

for( final  java.lang.reflect.Field field : fields )
{
  if( field.hashCode().equals(hashcode) )
  {
    obName = field.getName();
    break;
  }
}
System.out.println(obName);
