Description

I create a testing project on tomcat. calling the groovy object from a groovy page. After the tomcat start, I add a new method to the groovy object, and call the new method from the groovy page. The thing work under the groovy 1.0, but failed under groovy 1.1-b3 or rc1. groovy 1.1 throw out a exception, telling me Script processing failed. No signature of methodDo the class invoking is this cause by the mechanism change between 1.1 and 1.0? or I make a fault in my code?

My testing project project structure like this:

/webpages
    test.groovy
    /WEB-INF
        /groovy
            /ABC.groovy

I just simply call the ABC from the test.groovy. The first time I code like this, and start tomcat. everything work great.

test.groovy

def abc = new ABC()
out << abc.say()

ABC.groovy

class ABC{
  def say() { 
    return "hello"
  }
}

And later I add a method call newSay() to ABC, and then call it from test.groovy without reboot Tomcat, Ok under groovy 1.0 but fail under 1.1. Without reboot Tomcat is the reason I try to use groovy. If reboot required, where is the dynamic?

test.groovy

def abc = new ABC()
out << abc.say()
out << abc.newSay()

ABC.groovy

class ABC{
  def say() {
    return "hello"
  }

  def newSay() {
    return "new hello"
  }
}
