Caller reference?

[Tom Elix]

From a method in another object, how do I access the reference to the object who called me? In other words, how do I find the object which called this object?

[Chloe Loh]

I would pass the reference of the caller object into the mentioned method of the object that will be called. The declaration of the method in the class of the called object can be:
e.g. void calledMethod(Object calledObject)
I don't know if there is any more efficient way of doing it. but, if anyone have a better solution, I also want to learn it..

Sorry, I made a mistake.
The declaration of the method in the class of the called object can be:
e.g. void calledMethod(Object callerObject)

If you want this information for debugging purpose, you can also get it while writing this dirty code:

if (DEBUG) {
 try {
   throw new Exception();
  } catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
 }
}

You will see all the stack, thus the caller .
