    Hi,

     

    Have a look at http://blog.gtiwari333.com/2012/08/groovy-grails-dynamic-method-n-variable.html

     

    You can call methods using variables and array elements.

     

    I've created a small Groovy script as a demo.  See below.

     

    def myObj = new MyClass();
    
    // Call in the usual way.
    log.info("Call in the usual way.");
    log.info(myObj.methodOne());
    log.info(myObj.methodTwo());
    log.info(myObj.methodThree());
    log.info("-------------------------------------------");
    
    // Call using a variable.
    log.info("Call using a variable");
    
    def methodToCall = "methodOne";
    log.info(myObj."$methodToCall"());
    
    methodToCall = "methodTwo";
    log.info(myObj."$methodToCall"());
    
    methodToCall = "methodThree";
    log.info(myObj."$methodToCall"());
    
    log.info("-------------------------------------------");
    
    log.info("Call with method name in an array");
    def myArray = ["methodOne", "methodTwo", "methodThree"];
    log.info(myObj.(myArray[0])());
    log.info(myObj.(myArray[1])());
    log.info(myObj.(myArray[2])());
    
    log.info("-------------------------------------------");
    
    class MyClass {
    
    	MyClass(){
    		// empty constructor
    	}
    
    	def methodOne(){
    		return "I am method one";
    	}
    
    	def methodTwo(){
    		return "I am method two";
    	}
    
    	def methodThree(){
    		return "I am method three";
    	}
    }
