getting type information from this code

Am I correct in saying the byte code will not contain information on the type for line 2 in the following code


line 1: public void someMethod() {
line 2:           DummyClass c = null;
line 3:  }

Is it correct to say that the byte code will not contain info that the variable c is of type DummyClass?  If I am incorrect, how do I get the type information?
thanks,
dean
