## org.codehaus.groovy.grails.commons.metaclass
[Java] Class ProxyMetaClass

    java.lang.Object
      groovy.lang.MetaClassImpl
          org.codehaus.groovy.grails.commons.metaclass.ProxyMetaClass

All Implemented Interfaces:
  groovy.lang.AdaptingMetaClass

    @java.lang.SuppressWarnings({"unchecked","rawtypes"})
    public class ProxyMetaClass
    extends groovy.lang.MetaClassImpl

As subclass of MetaClass, ProxyMetaClass manages calls from Groovy Objects to POJOs. It enriches MetaClass with the feature of making method invokations interceptable by an Interceptor. To this end, it acts as a decorator (decorator pattern) allowing to add or withdraw this feature at runtime. This is based on original code by Dierk Koenig, but uses a callback object for thread safety and supports not only method interception, but property and constructor interception too.

  Call invokeMethod 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.

### invokeStaticMethod

    @java.lang.Override
    public java.lang.Object invokeStaticMethod(java.lang.Object object, java.lang.String methodName, java.lang.Object[] arguments)

  Call invokeStaticMethod 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.

### setAdaptee

  Parameters:
    `adaptee` - the adaptee to set

### setInterceptor

    public void setInterceptor(Interceptor interceptor)

    `property` - The property name to set
    `newValue` - The new value of the property

### use

    public void use(groovy.lang.Closure closure)

  Use the ProxyMetaClass for the given Closure. Cares for balanced register/unregister.
  Parameters:
    `closure` - piece of code to be executed with registered ProxyMetaClass
