------------------------------------
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.
