Re: Override a method without knowing its parameters

[Douglas Mendes <do...@gmail.com>]

Answering my own question:

It can be done if the metaClass is an ExpandoMetaClass. Like this:

expandoMetaClass.registerInstanceMethod(
    new TransformMetaMethod(originalMetaMethod) {
        @Override
        Object invoke(Object object, Object[] arguments) {
            println "Done! Method overriden!"
            super.invoke(object, arguments)
        }
    }
)

Anyway, in grails it didn't work (it kept calling the original method). Had
to use an AST.

Hi.

How can I properly override a method given a java.lang.reflect.Method and
its respective MetaClass?

I know that can be achieved by overriding the MetaClass's *invokeMethod *but
I can't do that (even if I could, would like to avoid).

Pseudocode:

*void doAnOverride(MetaClass metaClass, Method method) {*
*    metaClass."${method.name <http://method.name>}" = { args ->*
*        println "done"*
*    }*
*}*

Thanks,
