The document is centered around Groovy, an agile dynamic language that enhances Java's capabilities. It discusses various aspects of Groovy, including its support for Domain-Specific Languages (DSL), method injection, and AOP (Aspect-Oriented Programming), along with code examples. Additionally, it provides links to resources for further reading and development using Groovy.

5. Groovy

6. Groovy is an agile dynamic language

7. Java is a Groovy but Groovy is not Java

8. Groovy supports DSL

9. Groovy provides statically type check

10. MOP...?

11. MOP Example GORM
class Person {
String name
Integer age
Date lastVisit
}
​
Person.findByName('Jack')

12. Groovy Object
package groovy.lang;
public interface GroovyObject {
Object invokeMethod(String name, Object
args);
Object getProperty(String property);
void setProperty(String property, Object
newValue);
MetaClass getMetaClass();
void setMetaClass(MetaClass metaClass);
}

13. Object operation
str = 'hello'
method = str.metaClass.getMetaMethod
('toUpperCase')
​
println method.invoke(str) // HELLO

14. AOP

15. groovy.lang.GroovyInterceptable#invokeMethod

16. groovy.lang.MetaClass#invokeMethod

17. method injection
