Karl: I think Stanley was looking for the method name, not the class name -
I have the same issue, and the only answer
I've found is to put a string in the class that defines the name - doesn't
seem to be a dynamic way of getting the current method name. You can get ALL
method names with reflection, but not just the one you're in now, at least
not without throwing an exception & reading it from the stacktrace.
Anyone knows a better way, I'd be very happy!
