Groovy: Dynamically addings methods with a specific signature.
- by Reverend Gonzo
So, I need to dynamically create (or inject) methods into an object that have a specific return type and method signature, because a Java tool we're using will be finding this methods via Reflection and checks for void type. Method names will be determined at runtime.
Using metaClass. = { ... } however adds a closure which doesn't show up as a regular method (even if it can be used as one) and also has a return type.
I can't modify the method finding code, and it it not Groovy-aware.
I can't use methodMissing() or invokeMethod() because the method needs to actually exist. If I could overload class.getMethods() I think it would be possible, but I can't figure out how.
Is there any way to do this in Groovy?
