/**
 * <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
 * <a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/beanutils/apidocs/org/apache/commons/beanutils/MethodUtils.html">
 * org.apache.commons.beanutils.MethodUtils#invokeMethod
 * </a> 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 org.apache.commons.beanutils.MethodUtils#invokeExactMethod 
 * (the old default) is required.
 * This method is much stricter in its 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 passed as null values).</p>
