41 * {@code Proxy} provides static methods for creating dynamic proxy
42 * classes and instances, and it is also the superclass of all
43 * dynamic proxy classes created by those methods.
45 * <p>To create a proxy for some interface {@code Foo}:
47 * InvocationHandler handler = new MyInvocationHandler(...);
48 * Class proxyClass = Proxy.getProxyClass(
49 * Foo.class.getClassLoader(), new Class[] { Foo.class });
50 * Foo f = (Foo) proxyClass.
51 * getConstructor(new Class[] { InvocationHandler.class }).
52 * newInstance(new Object[] { handler });
56 * Foo f = (Foo) Proxy.newProxyInstance(Foo.class.getClassLoader(),
57 * new Class[] { Foo.class },
61 * <p>A <i>dynamic proxy class</i> (simply referred to as a <i>proxy
62 * class</i> below) is a class that implements a list of interfaces
63 * specified at runtime when the class is created, with behavior as
66 * A <i>proxy interface</i> is such an interface that is implemented
69 * A <i>proxy instance</i> is an instance of a proxy class.
71 * Each proxy instance has an associated <i>invocation handler</i>
72 * object, which implements the interface {@link InvocationHandler}.
73 * A method invocation on a proxy instance through one of its proxy
74 * interfaces will be dispatched to the {@link InvocationHandler#invoke
75 * invoke} method of the instance's invocation handler, passing the proxy
76 * instance, a {@code java.lang.reflect.Method} object identifying
77 * the method that was invoked, and an array of type {@code Object}
78 * containing the arguments. The invocation handler processes the
79 * encoded method invocation as appropriate and the result that it
80 * returns will be returned as the result of the method invocation on
83 * <p>A proxy class has the following properties:
86 * <li>Proxy classes are public, final, and not abstract.
88 * <li>The unqualified name of a proxy class is unspecified. The space
89 * of class names that begin with the string {@code "$Proxy"}
90 * should be, however, reserved for proxy classes.
92 * <li>A proxy class extends {@code java.lang.reflect.Proxy}.
94 * <li>A proxy class implements exactly the interfaces specified at its
95 * creation, in the same order.
97 * <li>If a proxy class implements a non-public interface, then it will
98 * be defined in the same package as that interface. Otherwise, the
99 * package of a proxy class is also unspecified. Note that package
100 * sealing will not prevent a proxy class from being successfully defined
101 * in a particular package at runtime, and neither will classes already
102 * defined by the same class loader and the same package with particular
105 * <li>Since a proxy class implements all of the interfaces specified at
106 * its creation, invoking {@code getInterfaces} on its
107 * {@code Class} object will return an array containing the same
108 * list of interfaces (in the order specified at its creation), invoking
109 * {@code getMethods} on its {@code Class} object will return
110 * an array of {@code Method} objects that include all of the
111 * methods in those interfaces, and invoking {@code getMethod} will
112 * find methods in the proxy interfaces as would be expected.
114 * <li>The {@link Proxy#isProxyClass Proxy.isProxyClass} method will
115 * return true if it is passed a proxy class-- a class returned by
116 * {@code Proxy.getProxyClass} or the class of an object returned by
117 * {@code Proxy.newProxyInstance}-- and false otherwise.
119 * <li>The {@code java.security.ProtectionDomain} of a proxy class
120 * is the same as that of system classes loaded by the bootstrap class
121 * loader, such as {@code java.lang.Object}, because the code for a
122 * proxy class is generated by trusted system code. This protection
123 * domain will typically be granted
124 * {@code java.security.AllPermission}.
126 * <li>Each proxy class has one public constructor that takes one argument,
127 * an implementation of the interface {@link InvocationHandler}, to set
128 * the invocation handler for a proxy instance. Rather than having to use
129 * the reflection API to access the public constructor, a proxy instance
130 * can be also be created by calling the {@link Proxy#newProxyInstance
131 * Proxy.newProxyInstance} method, which combines the actions of calling
132 * {@link Proxy#getProxyClass Proxy.getProxyClass} with invoking the
133 * constructor with an invocation handler.
136 * <p>A proxy instance has the following properties:
139 * <li>Given a proxy instance {@code proxy} and one of the
140 * interfaces implemented by its proxy class {@code Foo}, the
141 * following expression will return true:
143 * {@code proxy instanceof Foo}
145 * and the following cast operation will succeed (rather than throwing
146 * a {@code ClassCastException}):
148 * {@code (Foo) proxy}
151 * <li>Each proxy instance has an associated invocation handler, the one
152 * that was passed to its constructor. The static
153 * {@link Proxy#getInvocationHandler Proxy.getInvocationHandler} method
154 * will return the invocation handler associated with the proxy instance
155 * passed as its argument.
157 * <li>An interface method invocation on a proxy instance will be
158 * encoded and dispatched to the invocation handler's {@link
159 * InvocationHandler#invoke invoke} method as described in the
160 * documentation for that method.
162 * <li>An invocation of the {@code hashCode},
163 * {@code equals}, or {@code toString} methods declared in
164 * {@code java.lang.Object} on a proxy instance will be encoded and
165 * dispatched to the invocation handler's {@code invoke} method in
166 * the same manner as interface method invocations are encoded and
167 * dispatched, as described above. The declaring class of the
168 * {@code Method} object passed to {@code invoke} will be
169 * {@code java.lang.Object}. Other public methods of a proxy
170 * instance inherited from {@code java.lang.Object} are not
171 * overridden by a proxy class, so invocations of those methods behave
172 * like they do for instances of {@code java.lang.Object}.
175 * <h3>Methods Duplicated in Multiple Proxy Interfaces</h3>
177 * <p>When two or more interfaces of a proxy class contain a method with
178 * the same name and parameter signature, the order of the proxy class's
179 * interfaces becomes significant. When such a <i>duplicate method</i>
180 * is invoked on a proxy instance, the {@code Method} object passed
181 * to the invocation handler will not necessarily be the one whose
182 * declaring class is assignable from the reference type of the interface
183 * that the proxy's method was invoked through. This limitation exists
184 * because the corresponding method implementation in the generated proxy
185 * class cannot determine which interface it was invoked through.
186 * Therefore, when a duplicate method is invoked on a proxy instance,
187 * the {@code Method} object for the method in the foremost interface
188 * that contains the method (either directly or inherited through a
189 * superinterface) in the proxy class's list of interfaces is passed to
190 * the invocation handler's {@code invoke} method, regardless of the
191 * reference type through which the method invocation occurred.
193 * <p>If a proxy interface contains a method with the same name and
194 * parameter signature as the {@code hashCode}, {@code equals},
195 * or {@code toString} methods of {@code java.lang.Object},
196 * when such a method is invoked on a proxy instance, the
197 * {@code Method} object passed to the invocation handler will have
198 * {@code java.lang.Object} as its declaring class. In other words,
199 * the public, non-final methods of {@code java.lang.Object}
200 * logically precede all of the proxy interfaces for the determination of
201 * which {@code Method} object to pass to the invocation handler.
203 * <p>Note also that when a duplicate method is dispatched to an
204 * invocation handler, the {@code invoke} method may only throw
205 * checked exception types that are assignable to one of the exception
206 * types in the {@code throws} clause of the method in <i>all</i> of
207 * the proxy interfaces that it can be invoked through. If the
208 * {@code invoke} method throws a checked exception that is not
209 * assignable to any of the exception types declared by the method in one
210 * of the proxy interfaces that it can be invoked through, then an
211 * unchecked {@code UndeclaredThrowableException} will be thrown by
212 * the invocation on the proxy instance. This restriction means that not
213 * all of the exception types returned by invoking
214 * {@code getExceptionTypes} on the {@code Method} object
215 * passed to the {@code invoke} method can necessarily be thrown
216 * successfully by the {@code invoke} method.
