Useful Abstract Methods

This is somewhat older and useful set of code, but i can't remember where it was... may be when i was using ehCache for data pre-loading in says at MIT.

  /**  

    * Get Object Type  
    *  
    * @return  
    */  
   public Class getObjectType() {  
     return (this != null ? this.getClass() : CacheManagerEventListener.class);  
   }
