Question

I have a class which has a field the same name as a method on that class.
The problem I’m having is groovy is using the field instead of the method.

The class is javax.ws.rs.core.Response and the method/field is status.
I am unable to call the status(…) method with just: Response.status(Status.BAD_REQUEST) to have it return a ResponseBuilder.

Is there a way to force groovy to use the method in this case?

Answer 1

Do you have an example of this failing?

I wrote this quick test:

class Test {
  String status
  void status( String status ) {
    println "called method"
  }
}

new Test().status( 'tim' )

And that prints called method as I would expect (it doesn’t try to call the property)
