I have a complex stats system to monitor the behavior of our app.  

One of the things I want to do is track the name of a thread/task calling a 
component.

So I have a component called a Caller which I inject so that when a 
component is created, I can see who called it.

The problem is, how do you change the caller at runtime?

It should be possible to do this with thread locals and a @Singleton.

So basically you have a Task, which has a Caller dependency... then that 
task just does

String defaultCaller = caller.get();

try {

    caller.set( "my-task" );

    mytask.run();

} finally {
    caller.set( defaultCaller );
}

... now I'm not super happy with thread locals, but this doesn't seem 
amazingly ugly.

Is there a better way to do this?
