How to understand this delegator

Question
I'm reading the source of activejdbc, found these methods in ModelInstrumentation.
public void instrument(CtClass modelClass) throws Exception {
addDelegates(modelClass);
CtMethod m = CtNewMethod.make("public static String getClassName() { return \"" + modelClass.getName()
+ "\"; }", modelClass);
CtMethod getClassNameMethod = modelClass.getDeclaredMethod("getClassName");
modelClass.removeMethod(getClassNameMethod);
modelClass.addMethod(m);
}
CtClass modelClass = ClassPool.getDefault().get("org.javalite.activejdbc.Model");
private void addDelegates(CtClass target) throws NotFoundException, CannotCompileException {
CtMethod[] modelMethods = modelClass.getDeclaredMethods();
CtMethod[] targetMethods = target.getDeclaredMethods();
for (CtMethod method : modelMethods) {
if (Modifier.PRIVATE == method.getModifiers()) {
continue;
}
CtMethod newMethod = CtNewMethod.delegator(method, target);
if (!targetHasMethod(targetMethods, newMethod)) {
target.addMethod(newMethod);
} else {
System.out.println("Detected method: " + newMethod.getName() + ", skipping delegate.");
}
}
}
This class is used to enhance a model class, the first one instrument
will firstly delegate all non-private methods from org.javalite.activejdbc.Model
to its child model class, which means it will add such methods to the child:
public X f(...) {
return super.f(...);
}
I don't understand why it does this, since we can invoke these methods even if there is no delegates.
No correct solution
