        Description copied from interface: MetaObjectProtocol

        Returns an object satisfying Groovy truth if the implementing MetaClass responds to a method with the given name and arguments types.

        Note that this method's return value is based on realised methods and does not take into account objects or classes that implement invokeMethod or methodMissing

        This method is "safe" in that it will always return a value and never throw an exception

        Specified by:
        respondsTo in interface MetaObjectProtocol
        Parameters:
        obj - The object to inspect
        name - The name of the method of interest
        argTypes - The argument types to match against
        Returns:
        A List of MetaMethods matching the argument types which will be empty if no matching methods exist

        Description copied from interface: MetaObjectProtocol

        Returns an object satisfying Groovy truth if the implementing MetaClass responds to a method with the given name regardless of arguments. In other words this method will return for foo() and foo(String).

      • addMetaMethod

        public void addMetaMethod​(MetaMethod method)
        adds a MetaMethod to this class. WARNING: this method will not do the neccessary steps for multimethod logic and using this method doesn't mean, that a method added here is replacing another method from a parent class completely. These steps are usually done by initialize, which means if you need these steps, you have to add the method before running initialize the first time.
        Specified by:
        addMetaMethod in interface MutableMetaClass
        Parameters:
        method - the MetaMethod

      • initialize

        public void initialize()
        Description copied from interface: MetaClass
        complete the initialisation process. After this method is called no methods should be added to the meta class. Invocation of methods or access to fields/properties is forbidden unless this method is called. This method should contain any initialisation code, taking a longer time to complete. An example is the creation of the Reflector. It is suggested to synchronize this method.

        Description copied from interface: MetaObjectProtocol

        Retrieves a property of an instance of the class returned by the getTheClass() method.

        What this means is largely down to the MetaClass implementation, however the default case would result in an attempt to invoke a JavaBean getter, or if no such getter exists a public field of the instance.

        Specified by:
        getProperty in interface MetaObjectProtocol
        Parameters:
        object - An instance of the class returned by the getTheClass() method
        property - The name of the property to retrieve the value for
        Returns:

        Description copied from interface: MetaObjectProtocol

        Sets a property of an instance of the class returned by the getTheClass() method.

        What this means is largely down to the MetaClass implementation, however the default case would result in an attempt to invoke a JavaBean setter, or if no such setter exists to set a public field of the instance.

        Specified by:
        setProperty in interface MetaObjectProtocol
        Parameters:
        object - An instance of the class returned by the getTheClass() method

        Description copied from interface: MetaObjectProtocol

        Retrieves an attribute of an instance of the class returned by the getTheClass() method.

        What this means is largely down to the MetaClass implementation, however the default case would result in attempt to read a field of the instance.

        Parameters:
        object - An instance of the class returned by the getTheClass() method

        Description copied from interface: MetaClass
        Selects a method by name and argument classes. This method does not search for an exact match, it searches for a compatible method.

There is no warranty for that.
