Jochen Theodorou commented on GROOVY-7933:
------------------------------------------
no idea what went wrong, but now I can reproduce the behaviour. What is to be
expected is that if a method call is done and there is an exact matching method
to the argument types, that this method is called. so a(true) should call
a(boolean) before a(Boolean) and also before a(Object)
> Incorrect boxing of boolean primitive types

> Key: GROOVY-7933
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-7933
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: groovy-runtime
> Affects Versions: 2.4.7
> Reporter: Henri Tremblay
>
> A boolean primitive type seems to be boxed for no apparent reason. See the
> example below. The problem disappear when using @CompileStatic or if
> explicitly casting to (boolean).
> {code:java}
> public class Demo {
> public void a(boolean a){
> System.out.println("boolean was called");
> }
> public void a(Object a){
> System.out.println("Object was called");
> }
> }
> class Groovy {
> static void main(String[] args) {
> def demo = new Demo()
> demo.a(true)
> }
> }
> {code}
> *Output:*
> Object was called
