I don't really understand what you're trying to do, but if the following
can help you...You can't know the caller, except if you pass it as a
parameter.
Class A {
  B b = B();
  b.myMethod(...,this);
}
Class B {
  void my Method(...,Object o) {
  //now we've got the caller, we can get the class and therfore the name
of the class
  Class c = o.getClass();
  String s = c.getName();    // s = "A"
}

Get the name of the method is a little bit more complex. Try to read
about the class java.lang.Class.

Hope that helps.
