Graeme Rocher created GROOVY-7957:
-------------------------------------
Summary: Allow static compilation of builders that implement
methodMissing / propertyMissing
Key: GROOVY-7957
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-7957
Project: Groovy
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: GEP
Reporter: Graeme Rocher
Similar to Scala's {{Dynamic}}
http://www.scala-lang.org/api/current/index.html#scala.Dynamic
We should be able to write builders that are usable from statically compiled
code. To achieve this I recommend the following:
{code}
// if the object implements methodMissing dispatch to it
foo.bar("blah") ~~> foo.methodMissing("bar", "blah")
// if the object implements propertyMissing dispatch to it
foo.var1 ~~> foo.propertyMissing("var1")
// if the object implements propertyMissing dispatch to it
foo.var1 = 10 ~~> foo.propertyMissing("var1", 10)
{code}
When combined with GROOVY-7956 it would then be possibly to fully implement
builders that are compatible with {{@CompileStatic}} and certain existing
builders could be enhanced to take advantage of this feature {{JsonBuilder}},
{{MarkupBuilder}} etc.
