RE: [QUESTION] Proxy Generation Motivation

[Jean Safar]

Thanx a lot for those insight. There is another use that I saw, although I am not sure it was a motivation. Rule based engines such as Jess, or Oracle Business Rules perform shallow copies of objects passed through fact assertion. Having a proxy does help as it copies only the reference of the original object.   regards, From: James Carman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 19, 2005 3:05 PM To: hivemind-user@jakarta.apache.org; 'belaran' Subject: RE: [QUESTION] Proxy Generation Motivation   What about service interceptors?  How would you implement service interceptors without using some form of a proxy?   From: belaran [mailto:belaran@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 19, 2005 7:58 AM To: hivemind-user@jakarta.apache.org Subject: Re: [QUESTION] Proxy Generation Motivation   Lazy Loading/Eager Loading would be my best guest... Indeed, the use of proxy allow you "lazy load" your object. When you ask for the object, HM creates the proxy and it's only when your really call the object that it really created... I hope got your question , last time i answer one of those, i failed to really understand the question  : / 2005/7/19, Jean Safar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Hi, I have been looking at HiveMind for a little while and I was wondering what motivated the use of proxy generation when creating the component through the registry. I could not find any explanation on that in the documentation. It surely prevents cheating when playing with the interfaces as it prevents the instance to be cast to a known implementation of the desired interface which would break the programming by interface paradigm. Was there other jutifications?
