We are searching for an include mechanism for groovy scripts to have space for cross-cutting-concerns.
In my example we have, web service endpoints as groovy scripts and want to log to our web service protocol. for that we use our implicit object (getting from our framework) to create the logging statement.
But this is boilerplate code if we code this in every web service endpoint.
We are searching for something like include() in php, that includes other groovy scripts, are there any ideas how to do this?

Groovy is a scripting language with Java-like syntax for the Java platform. The Groovy scripting language simplifies the authoring of code by employing dot-separated notation, yet still supporting syntax to manipulate collections, Strings, and JavaBeans.
When a Groovy class definition declares a field without an access modifier, then a public setter/getter method pair and a private instance variable field is generated which is also known as "property" according to the JavaBeans specification.
Groovy is a fully fledged object-oriented (OO) language supporting all of the OO programming concepts that are familiar to Java developers: classes, objects, interfaces, inheritance, polymorphism, and others.
In Groovy, we can add a method named call to a class and then invoke the method without using the name call . We would simply just type the parentheses and optional arguments on an object instance. Groovy calls this the call operator: () . This can be especially useful in for example a DSL written with Groovy.
Groovy treats its files as objects (think of it as of automatic wrapping). And it makes all .groovy files within the java classpath available as classes. So if you have the file util.groovy, that contains something like this inside:
def static AuxMethod() {
return "Hello World"
}
To call it from another file you just write:
println util.AuxMethod()
That's it. Again, just make sure that your util.groovy file is in the classpath.
