All Known Implementing Classes:

MethodInvocation

Functional Interface:

This is a functional interface and can therefore be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.
```
@FunctionalInterface
public interface Invocation
```
Invocation of execution point.
This class represents captured invocation of some element in program with all needed data to proceed. It can be analyzed, replaced or just executed at any time.
Depending on the proxy mechanism, this potentially could be any point in program, but most implementations only support capturing method calls into MethodInvocation.

- Method Detail
  - invoke
```
@Nullable
Object invoke()
       throws Throwable
```
    Invokes the execution point.
    It will either succeed and return a result, possibly null, or fail and throw an exception.
    
    Returns:
    
    result of an invocation.
    
    Throws:
    
    Throwable - exception that was thrown by invocation
  - fromRunnable
```
static Invocation fromRunnable(Runnable runnable)
```
    Adapts Runnable to this interface.
    
    Parameters:
    
    runnable - runnable to run
    
    Returns:
    
    invocation that when invoked, will call the runnable and if it doesn't throw runtime exception, it will return null.
  - fromCallable
```
static Invocation fromCallable(Callable<?> callable)
```
    Adapts Callable to this interface.
    
    Parameters:
    
    callable - runnable to run
    
    Returns:
    
    invocation that when invoked, will call the runnable and if it doesn't throw exception, it will return whatever callable execution returns.
  - returning
```
static Invocation returning(@Nullable
                            Object result)
```
    Creates invocation that does only one thing: returns the provided argument.
    
    Parameters:
    
    result - what the invocation should return
    
    Returns:
    
    invocation that returns provided result.
  - throwing
```
static Invocation throwing(Supplier<Throwable> thrownSupplier)
```
    Creates invocation that only throws exceptions obtained from supplier.
    Each execution of the invocation will fetch new exception.
    
    Parameters:
    
    thrownSupplier - supplier that will produce exceptions to throw
    
    Returns:
    
    invocation that throws exception
