---------------------------------
Assignee: John Wagenleitner
> Improve docs for invokeMethod
> -----------------------------
>
> Key: GROOVY-7579
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-7579
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: Documentation
> Components: Documentation
> Affects Versions: 2.4.5
> Reporter: Aseem Bansal
> Assignee: John Wagenleitner
>
> I was reading meta programming documentation when I noticed that "this method
> is called when the method you called is not present on a Groovy object"
> As per the diagram it is incorrect. It is invoked when methodMissing is not
> present. This statement is as per the diagram.
> Also as per the answer at this is not an appropriate example
> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19220370/what-is-the-difference-between-invokemethod-and-methodmissing
> Saying this because the answer by blackdrag (who I understand is a core
> committer to groovy) says that methodMissing should be used instead.
> Also the same page mentions "overhead of invokeMethod". It would be nic e to
> have a better explanation in the section of invokeMethod itself.
> I am not knowledgeable about this so cannot suggest what can be added. But it
> would be better to have the explanation in the official docs.
