Re: Problem with invokeMethod

Note that in Groovy you don't have to use the invokeMethod() mechanism. 
You can call it directly...

                String groovyExpWithOutParam = "println obj 
;obj.methodTest()"               
                  String groovyWithParam = "println obj 
;obj.methodTest(false)";

Should fix it.

I think the reason for the strange behaviour is because you are passing 
in an empty list expression ([]) to the method call rather than null, 
which the runtime might coerce to a boolean?
