------------------------------------

             Summary: Improve docs for invokeMethod
                 Key: GROOVY-7579
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-7579
             Project: Groovy
          Issue Type: Documentation
            Reporter: Aseem Bansal


I was reading meta programming documentation when I noticed that "this method is called when the method you called is not present on a Groovy object"

As per the diagram it is incorrect. It is invoked when methodMissing is not present. This statement is as per the diagram.

Also as per the answer at this is not an appropriate example  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19220370/what-is-the-difference-between-invokemethod-and-methodmissing

Saying this because the answer by blackdrag (who I understand is a core committer to groovy) says that methodMissing should be used instead. 

Also the same page mentions "overhead of invokeMethod". It would be nic e to have a better explanation in the section of invokeMethod itself.

I am not knowledgeable about this so cannot suggest what can be added. But it would be better to have the explanation in the official docs.
