Thread name from thread id?

Anyone have any hints on how to obtain a thread's name from
the thread id? I'm using a handler in the Logger class, which
provides a method to get the id of the thread that invoked the
logger, but no method for the name.

This is possible, though whether it is practical in your case is for you to
decide. You may want to read:

for details.

I hope this helps.

Anthony, thanks for the suggestion, but I'm looking for something a little
more lightweight, callable within my application's jvm. Someone else
responded with an emailed algorithm that might do the job.
