Question

I want to copy the interface of a groovy script exactly but forward all the methods to a method like invokeMethod or methodMissing.

This is related to My other question here (But I gave up on the “easily” part) which explains why I can’t actually use invokeMethod or the ProxyMetaClass–in short, because my method is being called from java and none of groovy’s grooviness works for that invocation.

So I’m stuck trying to duplicate the class signature and forward calls to the original class.

This probably involves AST transforms, but I’m still trying to wrap my brain around those, any examples of using the AST to do something like this (or any other ideas at all) would be appreciated.

Answer 1

You could get all the grooviness to work by having your well defined use case execute within the context of a GroovyShell
