public class ProxyMetaClass
extends MetaClassImpl
implements AdaptingMetaClass
As subclass of MetaClass, ProxyMetaClass manages calls from Groovy Objects to POJOs. It enriches MetaClass with the feature of making method invocations interceptable by an Interceptor. To this end, it acts as a decorator (decorator pattern) allowing to add or withdraw this feature at runtime. See groovy/lang/InterceptorTest.groovy for details.
WARNING: This implementation of ProxyMetaClass is NOT thread-safe and hence should only be used for as a per-instance MetaClass running in a single thread. Do not place this MetaClass in the MetaClassRegistry as it will result in unpredictable behaviour

getAdaptee()Returns the MetaClass that this adapter adapts

getInstance(Class theClass)convenience factory method for the most usual case. |

public Object |
getProperty(Class aClass, Object object, String property, boolean useSuper, boolean fromInsideClass)Interceptors the call to getProperty if a PropertyAccessInterceptor is available |
|
public void |
initialize()Complete the initialisation process. After this method is called no methods should be added to the metaclass. Invocation of methods or access to fields/properties is forbidden unless this method is called. This method should contain any initialisation code, taking a longer time to complete. An example is the creation of the Reflector. It is suggested to synchronize this method. |

Call invokeConstructor on adaptee with logic like in MetaClass unless we have an Interceptor. With Interceptor the call is nested in its beforeInvoke and afterInvoke methods. The method call is suppressed if Interceptor.doInvoke() returns false. See Interceptor for details.
