Alberto,
far as I understand properly, at the very least you should be able to do that
programmatically, like this (do not forget ExpandoMetaClass.enableGlobally()):
def original=UnicastRemoteObject.metaClass.getMetaMethod("toString", new
Class[])
UnicastRemoteObject.metaClass.toString={ ->
try { delegate.getName() }
catch (MissingMethodException e) { original.invoke(delegate) }
}
There might possibly be an easier/more flexible solution, which I don't see
offhand.
All the best,
OC
