    • getAttribute

      public Object getAttribute​(Object object, String attribute)
      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.

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