            val name = javaClass.simpleName
            if (name.length <= 23) name else name.substring(0, 23)// first 23 chars
        } else {
            val name = javaClass.name
            if (name.length <= 23) name else name.substring(name.length - 23, name.length)// last 23 chars
        }
    }
