What is Proxy Object?

[Saathvik Reddy]

Ranchers,

Is proxy object a mirror image of a class?
What are interface proxy and class proxy?
Ex: class A implements B{...}

If i want to create proxy for class A. Does it also create proxy for interface B?

Thanks in advance

Don't know. I can see no mention of "proxy" in the Java Language Specification index.

If you're looking for Dynamic Proxy Classes, they are explained in the JDK 5.0 Documentation.

If you're looking for the GoF Proxy design pattern, the best source is their book.
Wikipedia has a good overview.
