getProperty

public java.lang.Object getProperty(java.lang.String property)

Specified by:

getProperty in interface GroovyObject

Overrides:

getProperty in class GroovyObjectSupport

setProperty

public void setProperty(java.lang.String property,
                        java.lang.Object newValue)

Description copied from interface: GroovyObject

Sets the given property to the new value

Specified by:

setProperty in interface GroovyObject

Overrides:

setProperty in class GroovyObjectSupport

invokeMethod

public java.lang.Object invokeMethod(java.lang.String name,
                                     java.lang.Object args)

Invoke a method (or closure in the binding) defined.

Specified by:

invokeMethod in interface GroovyObject

Overrides:

invokeMethod in class GroovyObjectSupport

Parameters:

name - method to call

args - arguments to pass to the method

Returns:

value

run

public abstract java.lang.Object run()

The main instance method of a script which has variables in scope as defined by the current Binding instance.

Returns:

println

public void println()

Prints a newline to the current 'out' variable which should be a PrintWriter or at least have a println() method defined on it. If there is no 'out' property then print to standard out.

print

public void print(java.lang.Object value)

Prints the value to the current 'out' variable which should be a PrintWriter or at least have a print() method defined on it. If there is no 'out' property then print to standard out.

println

public void println(java.lang.Object value)

Prints the value and a newline to the current 'out' variable which should be a PrintWriter or at least have a println() method defined on it. If there is no 'out' property then print to standard out.
