/**
* <p>Rule implementation that calls a method on an object on the stack
* (normally the top/parent object), passing arguments collected from
* subsequent <code>CallParamRule</code> rules or from the body of this
* element. </p>
*
* <p>By using {@link #CallMethodRule(String methodName)}
* a method call can be made to a method which accepts no
* arguments.</p>
*
* <p>Incompatible method parameter types are converted
* using <code>org.apache.commons.beanutils.ConvertUtils</code>.
* </p>
*
* <p>This rule now uses {@link MethodUtils#invokeMethod} by default.
* This increases the kinds of methods successfully and allows primitives
* to be matched by passing in wrapper classes.
* There are rare cases when {@link MethodUtils#invokeExactMethod}
* (the old default) is required.
* This method is much stricter in it's reflection.
* Setting the <code>UseExactMatch</code> to true reverts to the use of this
* method.</p>
*
* <p>Note that the target method is invoked when the <i>end</i> of
* the tag the CallMethodRule fired on is encountered, <i>not</i> when the
* last parameter becomes available. This implies that rules which fire on
* tags nested within the one associated with the CallMethodRule will
* fire before the CallMethodRule invokes the target method. This behaviour is
* not configurable. </p>
*
* <p>Note also that if a CallMethodRule is expecting exactly one parameter
* and that parameter is not available (eg CallParamRule is used with an
* attribute name but the attribute does not exist) then the method will
* not be invoked. If a CallMethodRule is expecting more than one parameter,
* then it is always invoked, regardless of whether the parameters were
* available or not; missing parameters are converted to the appropriate target
* type by calling ConvertUtils.convert. Note that the default ConvertUtils
* converters for the String type returns a null when passed a null, meaning
* that CallMethodRule will passed null for all String parameters for which
* there is no parameter info available from the XML. However parameters of
* type Float and Integer will be passed a real object containing a zero value
* as that is the output of the default ConvertUtils converters for those
* types when passed a null. You can register custom converters to change
* this behaviour; see the beautils library documentation for more info.</p>
*
* <p>Note that when a constructor is used with paramCount=0, indicating that
* the body of the element is to be passed to the target method, an empty
* element will cause an <i>empty string</i> to be passed to the target method,
* not null. And if automatic type conversion is being applied (ie if the
* target function takes something other than a string as a parameter) then
* the conversion will fail if the converter class does not accept an empty
* string as valid input.</p>
*
* <p>CallMethodRule has a design flaw which can cause it to fail under
* certain rule configurations. All CallMethodRule instances share a single
* parameter stack, and all CallParamRule instances simply store their data
* into the parameter-info structure that is on the top of the stack. This
* means that two CallMethodRule instances cannot be associated with the
* same pattern without getting scrambled parameter data. This same issue
* also applies when a CallMethodRule matches some element X, a different
* CallMethodRule matches a child element Y and some of the CallParamRules
* associated with the first CallMethodRule match element Y or one of its
* child elements. This issue has been present since the very first release
* of Digester. Note, however, that this configuration of CallMethodRule
* instances is not commonly required.</p>
