Method Detail

### beforeInvoke

    Object beforeInvoke(Object object,
                        String methodName,
                        Object[] arguments)

  This code is executed before the method is optionally called.

  Parameters:
    `object` - receiver object for the method call
    `methodName` - name of the method to call
    `arguments` - arguments to the method call
  Returns:
    any arbitrary result that replaces the result of the original method call only if doInvoke() returns false and afterInvoke() relays this result.

### afterInvoke

    Object afterInvoke(Object object,
                       String methodName,
                       Object[] arguments,
                       Object result)

  This code is executed after the method is optionally called.

  Parameters:
    `object` - receiver object for the called method
    `methodName` - name of the called method
    `arguments` - arguments to the called method
    `result` - result of the executed method call or result of beforeInvoke if method was not called
  Returns:
    any arbitrary result that can replace the result of the original method call. Typically, the result parameter is returned.

### doInvoke

    boolean doInvoke()

  Returns:
    whether the target method should be invoked at all.
