Java Spring Bean constructor how to get call stack, backtrace

Easy wasy to print Java call stack or backtrace:
Implement a function and throw an Exception.
Call the function in the place you want to know its backtrace or callstack
And Catch the Exception then
Call Exception.getStackTrace
class MyService {

    public static void f() throws Exception {
        throw new Exception();
    }

    void forTest() {
        try {
            f();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

Via this solution, we can get Bean constructor call stack easily.

In case you have to mock String, perhaps you can add a function only visible for testing via
import com.google.common.annotations.VisibleForTesting;
And in this function, mock the String type's value.
For Example:
class MyService {
    
    private String name = "myservice";

    @VisibleForTesting
    void forTest(String mockName) {
        this.name = mockName;
    }
}

import org.junit.Assert;
import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import org.mockito.InjectMocks;
import org.mockito.Mock;
import org.mockito.Mockito;
import org.mockito.MockitoAnnotations;
import org.mockito.runners.MockitoJUnitRunner;

public class MyServiceTest {

    private MyService myService;

    @Before
    public void setUp() {
        myService = new MyService();
        myService.forTest("mockName");
    }
}
