What I'm trying to figure out is what object type has wound up in the textField variable. My application creates a dynamic java table and each value field can be a different object (text field, combo box, password, etc). The object type can be derived from the application database, but there's a bit of convoluted logic to make the determination, and I don't always get it right. I have the switch case statement to set the textField object variable based on the output of the database. In the instance my query is incorrect, I'd like to know which object type was placed into the textField variable (e.g. panelC.TextField, panelC.ComboBox.TextField, etc.). However, if I just log the textField variable, it shows up as nothing more than a blank in the log.
