I am using simple servlet,

What method can I use to return the current line number of my coding in the servlet?

Assuming I'm at line 10 and I want to do something like
System.out.println("I am at line number " + ???);

I don't know what's the purpose of doing it, but when you compile your java code you can enable debug so that when exception thrown it will tell you at which line you have problem.

There is no good reason for doing this I guess.

But you can do it manually by remembering the line numbers and saying



but why would someone want to do that?

hi, lets try this

StackTraceElement[] st = Thread.currentThread().getStackTrace();
int lineNumber = st[st.length-1].getLineNumber();
System.out.println("lineNumber "+lineNumber);

Nice one man. This should work. Really nice thought. It never striked my mind.
