Metaprogramming in Groovy and Grails

There are many things you can do with runtime metaprogramming in Groovy and a number of ways to do them. By building web applications with Grails, you are already using metaprogramming behind the scenes. But it's not always clear why and when you should use metaprogramming techniques in a Grails project.

In this session we will focus on why and when to use metaprogramming techniques and provide some real-world examples. This session will not focus on the details of how to use metaprogramming in Groovy.
