public final class ClosureMetaClass
extends MetaClassImpl
A meta class for closures generated by the Groovy compiler. These classes have special characteristics this MetaClass uses. One of these is that a generated Closure has only additional doCall methods, all other methods are in the Closure class as well. To use this fact this MetaClass uses a MetaClass for Closure as static field And delegates calls to this MetaClass if needed. This allows a lean implementation for this MetaClass. Multiple generated closures will then use the same MetaClass for Closure. For static dispatching this class uses the MetaClass of Class, again all instances of this class will share that MetaClass. The Class MetaClass is initialized lazy, because most operations do not need this MetaClass.

The Closure and Class MetaClasses are not replaceable.

This MetaClass is for internal usage only!

      public java.lang.Object invokeMethod​(java.lang.Class sender, java.lang.Object object, java.lang.String methodName, java.lang.Object[] originalArguments, boolean isCallToSuper, boolean fromInsideClass)
      Description copied from class: MetaClassImpl

      Parameters:
      sender - The java.lang.Class instance that invoked the method
      object - The object which the method was invoked on
      methodName - The name of the method
      originalArguments - The arguments to the method
      isCallToSuper - Whether the method is a call to a super class method
      fromInsideClass - Whether the call was invoked from the inside or the outside of the class
      Returns:
      The return value of the method

    • initialize

      public void initialize()
      Description copied from class: MetaClassImpl
      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.
