    1.47 +     * Processes a method invocation on a proxy instance and returns
    1.48 +     * the result.  This method will be invoked on an invocation handler
    1.49 +     * when a method is invoked on a proxy instance that it is
    1.50 +     * associated with.
    1.51 +     *
    1.52 +     * @param   proxy the proxy instance that the method was invoked on
    1.53 +     *
    1.54 +     * @param   method the {@code Method} instance corresponding to
    1.55 +     * the interface method invoked on the proxy instance.  The declaring
    1.56 +     * class of the {@code Method} object will be the interface that
    1.57 +     * the method was declared in, which may be a superinterface of the
    1.58 +     * proxy interface that the proxy class inherits the method through.
    1.59 +     *
    1.60 +     * @param   args an array of objects containing the values of the
    1.61 +     * arguments passed in the method invocation on the proxy instance,
    1.62 +     * or {@code null} if interface method takes no arguments.
    1.63 +     * Arguments of primitive types are wrapped in instances of the
    1.64 +     * appropriate primitive wrapper class, such as
    1.65 +     * {@code java.lang.Integer} or {@code java.lang.Boolean}.
    1.66 +     *
    1.67 +     * @return  the value to return from the method invocation on the
    1.68 +     * proxy instance.  If the declared return type of the interface
    1.69 +     * method is a primitive type, then the value returned by
    1.70 +     * this method must be an instance of the corresponding primitive
    1.71 +     * wrapper class; otherwise, it must be a type assignable to the
    1.72 +     * declared return type.  If the value returned by this method is
    1.73 +     * {@code null} and the interface method's return type is
    1.74 +     * primitive, then a {@code NullPointerException} will be
    1.75 +     * thrown by the method invocation on the proxy instance.  If the
    1.76 +     * value returned by this method is otherwise not compatible with
    1.77 +     * the interface method's declared return type as described above,
    1.78 +     * a {@code ClassCastException} will be thrown by the method
    1.79 +     * invocation on the proxy instance.
    1.80 +     *
    1.81 +     * @throws  Throwable the exception to throw from the method
    1.82 +     * invocation on the proxy instance.  The exception's type must be
    1.83 +     * assignable either to any of the exception types declared in the
    1.84 +     * {@code throws} clause of the interface method or to the
    1.85 +     * unchecked exception types {@code java.lang.RuntimeException}
    1.86 +     * or {@code java.lang.Error}.  If a checked exception is
    1.87 +     * thrown by this method that is not assignable to any of the
    1.88 +     * exception types declared in the {@code throws} clause of
    1.89 +     * the interface method, then an
    1.90 +     * {@link UndeclaredThrowableException} containing the
    1.91 +     * exception that was thrown by this method will be thrown by the
    1.92 +     * method invocation on the proxy instance.
