[jira] [Commented] (GROOVY-8381) Other Operators section of Groovy docs missing get/set dot operator

["Eric Milles (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8381?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16252239#comment-16252239 ] 

Eric Milles commented on GROOVY-8381:
-------------------------------------

Also the table in section 1.2.10 (http://docs.groovy-lang.org/latest/html/documentation/#Operator-Overloading) could mention '.' -> get/set as well.

> Section 1.2.8 (Other Operators: http://docs.groovy-lang.org/latest/html/documentation/#_other_operators) mentions the Call Operator (aka call method).  But I do not see mention of the get(name) and set(name,value) methods that lead to a "dot" operator overload as it is mentioned in Groovy in Action.
> Example (Call and Dot operator overloads):
> {code}
> class General {
>   def call(... args) {
>     println "Called with args: $args"
>   }
>   def get(String name) {
>     println "Getting property: $name"
>   }
>   void set(String name, Object value) {
>     println "Setting property: $name"
>   }
> }
> General g = new General()
> g.unknown
> g.unknown = ''
> g("1", "2")
> {code}
