Class ProxyMetaClass

java.lang.Object

groovy.lang.MetaClassImpl

groovy.lang.ProxyMetaClass

All Implemented Interfaces:

AdaptingMetaClass, MetaClass, MetaObjectProtocol, MutableMetaClass

Direct Known Subclasses:

MockProxyMetaClass

public class ProxyMetaClass
extends MetaClassImpl
implements AdaptingMetaClass

As subclass of MetaClass, ProxyMetaClass manages calls from Groovy Objects to POJOs. It enriches MetaClass with the feature of making method invokations interceptable by an Interceptor. To this end, it acts as a decorator (decorator pattern) allowing to add or withdraw this feature at runtime. See groovy/lang/InterceptorTest.groovy for details.

WARNING: This implementation of ProxyMetaClass is NOT thread-safe and hence should only be used for as a per-instance MetaClass running in a single thread. Do not place this MetaClass in the MetaClassRegistry as it will result in unpredictable behaviour

Constructor Detail

ProxyMetaClass

public ProxyMetaClass(MetaClassRegistry registry,
              java.lang.Class theClass,
              MetaClass adaptee)
               throws java.beans.IntrospectionException

Parameters:

adaptee - the MetaClass to decorate with interceptability

Throws:

java.beans.IntrospectionException

Method Detail

getInstance

public static ProxyMetaClass getInstance(java.lang.Class theClass)
                                  throws java.beans.IntrospectionException

convenience factory method for the most usual case.

Throws:

java.beans.IntrospectionException

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.

Specified by:

initialize in interface MetaClass

Overrides:

initialize in class MetaClassImpl

use

public java.lang.Object use(Closure closure)

Use the ProxyMetaClass for the given Closure. Cares for balanced register/unregister.

Parameters:

closure - piece of code to be executed with registered ProxyMetaClass

use

public java.lang.Object use(GroovyObject object,
                   Closure closure)

Use the ProxyMetaClass for the given Closure. Cares for balanced setting/unsetting ProxyMetaClass.

Parameters:

closure - piece of code to be executed with ProxyMetaClass

getInterceptor

public Interceptor getInterceptor()

Returns:

the interceptor in use or null if no interceptor is used

setInterceptor

public void setInterceptor(Interceptor interceptor)

Parameters:

interceptor - may be null to reset any interception

invokeMethod

public java.lang.Object invokeMethod(java.lang.Object object,
                            java.lang.String methodName,
                            java.lang.Object[] arguments)

Call invokeMethod on adaptee with logic like in MetaClass unless we have an Interceptor. With Interceptor the call is nested in its beforeInvoke and afterInvoke methods. The method call is suppressed if Interceptor.doInvoke() returns false. See Interceptor for details.

Specified by:

invokeMethod in interface MetaObjectProtocol

Overrides:

invokeMethod in class MetaClassImpl

Parameters:

object - The instance which the method is invoked on

methodName - The name of the method

arguments - The arguments to the method

Returns:

The return value of the method which is null if the return type is void

See Also:

MissingMethodException

invokeStaticMethod

public java.lang.Object invokeStaticMethod(java.lang.Object object,
                                  java.lang.String methodName,
                                  java.lang.Object[] arguments)

Call invokeStaticMethod on adaptee with logic like in MetaClass unless we have an Interceptor. With Interceptor the call is nested in its beforeInvoke and afterInvoke methods. The method call is suppressed if Interceptor.doInvoke() returns false. See Interceptor for details.

Specified by:

invokeStaticMethod in interface MetaObjectProtocol

Overrides:

invokeStaticMethod in class MetaClassImpl

Parameters:

object - An instance of the class returned by the getTheClass() method or the class itself
