I tried to write a program again to demonstrate what I mean, but this time
it works :)
Essentially I was able to run code that was not visible. If you see code
below, the method Calculator.hypotenuse is private, so should not be
visible outside class.
However I was able to execute it from outside using closures.
This solves all my problems, now I am good.
Thanks so much

public class Test2 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
GroovyClassLoader classLoader = new GroovyClassLoader();
Binding binding = new Binding();
Map<Object, Object> attributes = new HashMap<Object, Object>();
GroovyShell shell = new GroovyShell(classLoader, binding);
binding.setVariable("shell", shell);
Test2 test = new Test2();
binding.setVariable("test", test);
shell.evaluate("test.runInsideGroovy(shell)");
}
public void runInsideGroovy(GroovyShell shell) {
Calculator calculator = new Calculator();
System.out.println("inside groovy");
System.out.println(runInContext(calculator, "hypotenuse(3.0, 4.0)", shell));
}
public Object runInContext(Object context, String script, GroovyShell
shell) {
Closure cl = (Closure) shell.evaluate("{->" + script + "}");
cl.setDelegate(context);
cl.setResolveStrategy(Closure.DELEGATE_FIRST);
return cl.call();
}
}
class Calculator {
private double hypotenuse(double width, double height) {
return Math.sqrt(width * width + height * height);
}
}
