I have tried repeatedly, but the thing simply does not work :( Any idea why?

    static main(args) {
        def mc=new XMC(q)
        mc.initialize()

        def qq=newInstance()
        println "mc used: "+qq.method()
        println "mc NOT used?!?: "+qq.prop
    }
    def method() { return 'm' }
    def prop='p'
}
class XMC extends DelegatingMetaClass {
    XMC(Class clazz) { super(clazz) }
    Object invokeMethod(Object object, String methodName, Object[] arguments) {
        println "invoking '$methodName' for $object"
        super.invokeMethod(object,methodName,arguments)
    }
    Object getProperty(Class sender, Object receiver, String property, boolean 
isCallToSuper, boolean fromInsideClass) {
        println "getting property '$property' for $receiver"
        
super.getProperty(sender,receiver,property,isCallToSuper,fromInsideClass)
    }
