Method Detail

object

public static Object object(Class[] types,
                            ProxyFactory proxyFactory,
                            Object[] targets)

Generate a proxy for the specified types calling the methods on the given targets.

Note, that the method will only return a proxy if necessary. If there is only one target instance and this instance implements all of the specified types, then there is no point in creating a proxy.

Parameters:

types - the types that are implemented by the proxy

proxyFactory - the ProxyFactory to use

targets - the target objects

Returns:

the new proxy implementing Multicast or the only target

object

public static Object object(Class type,
                            ProxyFactory proxyFactory,
                            Object[] targets)

Generate a proxy for the specified type calling the methods on the given targets.

Note, that the method will only return a proxy if necessary. If there is only one target instance and this instance implements the specified type, then there is no point in creating a proxy.

Parameters:

type - the type that is implemented by the proxy

proxyFactory - the ProxyFactory to use

targets - the target objects

Returns:

the new proxy implementing Multicast or the only target

object

public static Object object(ProxyFactory proxyFactory,
                            Object[] targets)

Generate a proxy that is calling the methods on the given targets.

The type of the proxy is a combination of all interfaces implemented by all targets and their most common super class (if supported by the ProxyFactory). Note, that the method will only return a proxy if necessary. If there is only one target instance, then there is no point in creating a proxy.

Parameters:

proxyFactory - the ProxyFactory to use

targets - the target objects

Returns:

the new proxy implementing Multicast or the only target

object

public static Object object(Object[] targets)

Generate a proxy that is calling the methods on the given targets using a StandardProxyFactory.

The type of the proxy is a combination of all interfaces implemented by all targets. Note, that the method will only return a proxy if necessary. If there is only one target instance, then there is no point in creating a proxy.

Parameters:

targets - the target objects

Returns:

the new proxy implementing Multicast or the only target
