Question

I want to do AOP in Griffon’s controller by using invokeMethod(), for example: add begin transaction advice to ‘before’ joint point and commit transaction advice to ‘after’ joint point in particular methods of all Griffon’s controller.

I haven’t verify this yet but I am afraid that the framework already has invokeMethod() for controller classes. Can I add a new invokeMethod() without affecting the previously defined invokeMethod() in a Groovy class? How to do that?

Answer 1

Griffon does enforce controllers to implement invokeMethod, you can provide your own.
Another alternative would be to provide a custom implementation of the GriffonControllerActionManagerinterface
