/**
 * <code>Proxy</code> provides static methods for creating dynamic proxy
 * classes and instances, and it is also the superclass of all
 * dynamic proxy classes created by those methods.
 *
 * <p>To create a proxy for some interface <code>Foo</code>:
 * <pre>
 *     InvocationHandler handler = new MyInvocationHandler(...);
 *     Class proxyClass = Proxy.getProxyClass(
 *         Foo.class.getClassLoader(), new Class[] { Foo.class });
 *     Foo f = (Foo) proxyClass.
 *         getConstructor(new Class[] { InvocationHandler.class }).
 *         newInstance(new Object[] { handler });
 * </pre>
 * or more simply:
 * <pre>
 *     Foo f = (Foo) Proxy.newProxyInstance(Foo.class.getClassLoader(),
 *                                          new Class[] { Foo.class },
 *                                          handler);
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>A <i>dynamic proxy class</i> (simply referred to as a <i>proxy
 * class</i> below) is a class that implements a list of interfaces
 * specified at runtime when the class is created, with behavior as
 * described below.
 *
 * A <i>proxy interface</i> is such an interface that is implemented
 * by a proxy class.
 *
 * A <i>proxy instance</i> is an instance of a proxy class.
 *
 * Each proxy instance has an associated <i>invocation handler</i>
 * object, which implements the interface {@link InvocationHandler}.
 * A method invocation on a proxy instance through one of its proxy
 * interfaces will be dispatched to the {@link InvocationHandler#invoke
 * invoke} method of the instance's invocation handler, passing the proxy
 * instance, a <code>java.lang.reflect.Method</code> object identifying
 * the method that was invoked, and an array of type <code>Object</code>
 * containing the arguments.  The invocation handler processes the
 * encoded method invocation as appropriate and the result that it
 * returns will be returned as the result of the method invocation on
 * the proxy instance.
 *
 * <p>A proxy class has the following properties:
 *
 * <ul>
 * <li>Proxy classes are public, final, and not abstract.
 *
 * <li>The unqualified name of a proxy class is unspecified.  The space
 * of class names that begin with the string <code>"$Proxy"</code>
 * should be, however, reserved for proxy classes.
 *
 * <li>A proxy class extends <code>java.lang.reflect.Proxy</code>.
 *
 * <li>A proxy class implements exactly the interfaces specified at its
 * creation, in the same order.
 *
 * <li>If a proxy class implements a non-public interface, then it will
 * be defined in the same package as that interface.  Otherwise, the
 * package of a proxy class is also unspecified.  Note that package
 * sealing will not prevent a proxy class from being successfully defined
 * in a particular package at runtime, and neither will classes already
 * defined by the same class loader and the same package with particular
 * signers.
 *
 * <li>Since a proxy class implements all of the interfaces specified at
 * its creation, invoking <code>getInterfaces</code> on its
 * <code>Class</code> object will return an array containing the same
 * list of interfaces (in the order specified at its creation), invoking
 * <code>getMethods</code> on its <code>Class</code> object will return
 * an array of <code>Method</code> objects that include all of the
 * methods in those interfaces, and invoking <code>getMethod</code> will
 * find methods in the proxy interfaces as would be expected.
 *
 * <li>The {@link Proxy#isProxyClass Proxy.isProxyClass} method will
 * return true if it is passed a proxy class-- a class returned by
 * <code>Proxy.getProxyClass</code> or the class of an object returned by
 * <code>Proxy.newProxyInstance</code>-- and false otherwise.
 *
 * <li>The <code>java.security.ProtectionDomain</code> of a proxy class
 * is the same as that of system classes loaded by the bootstrap class
 * loader, such as <code>java.lang.Object</code>, because the code for a
 * proxy class is generated by trusted system code.  This protection
 * domain will typically be granted
 * <code>java.security.AllPermission</code>.
 *
 * <li>Each proxy class has one public constructor that takes one argument,
 * an implementation of the interface {@link InvocationHandler}, to set
 * the invocation handler for a proxy instance.  Rather than having to use
 * the reflection API to access the public constructor, a proxy instance
 * can be also be created by calling the {@link Proxy#newProxyInstance
 * Proxy.newInstance} method, which combines the actions of calling
 * {@link Proxy#getProxyClass Proxy.getProxyClass} with invoking the
 * constructor with an invocation handler.
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>A proxy instance has the following properties:
 *
 * <ul>
 * <li>Given a proxy instance <code>proxy</code> and one of the
 * interfaces implemented by its proxy class <code>Foo</code>, the
 * following expression will return true:
 * <pre>
 *     <code>proxy instanceof Foo</code>
 * </pre>
 * and the following cast operation will succeed (rather than throwing
 * a <code>ClassCastException</code>):
 * <pre>
 *     <code>(Foo) proxy</code>
 * </pre>
 *
 * <li>Each proxy instance has an associated invocation handler, the one
 * that was passed to its constructor.  The static
 * {@link Proxy#getInvocationHandler Proxy.getInvocationHandler} method
 * will return the invocation handler associated with the proxy instance
 * passed as its argument.
 *
 * <li>An interface method invocation on a proxy instance will be
 * encoded and dispatched to the invocation handler's {@link
 * InvocationHandler#invoke invoke} method as described in the
 * documentation for that method.
 *
 * <li>An invocation of the <code>hashCode</code>,
 * <code>equals</code>, or <code>toString</code> methods declared in
 * <code>java.lang.Object</code> on a proxy instance will be encoded and
 * dispatched to the invocation handler's <code>invoke</code> method in
 * the same manner as interface method invocations are encoded and
 * dispatched, as described above.  The declaring class of the
 * <code>Method</code> object passed to <code>invoke</code> will be
 * <code>java.lang.Object</code>.  Other public methods of a proxy
 * instance inherited from <code>java.lang.Object</code> are not
 * overridden by a proxy class, so invocations of those methods behave
 * like they do for instances of <code>java.lang.Object</code>.
 * </ul>
 *
 * <h3>Methods Duplicated in Multiple Proxy Interfaces</h3>
 *
 * <p>When two or more interfaces of a proxy class contain a method with
 * the same name and parameter signature, the order of the proxy class's
 * interfaces becomes significant.  When such a <i>duplicate method</i>
 * is invoked on a proxy instance, the <code>Method</code> object passed
 * to the invocation handler will not necessarily be the one whose
 * declaring class is assignable from the reference type of the interface
 * that the proxy's method was invoked through.  This limitation exists
 * because the corresponding method implementation in the generated proxy
 * class cannot determine which interface it was invoked through.
 * Therefore, when a duplicate method is invoked on a proxy instance,
 * the <code>Method</code> object for the method in the foremost interface
 * that contains the method (either directly or inherited through a
 * superinterface) in the proxy class's list of interfaces is passed to
 * the invocation handler's <code>invoke</code> method, regardless of the
 * reference type through which the method invocation occurred.
 *
 * <p>If a proxy interface contains a method with the same name and
 * parameter signature as the <code>hashCode</code>, <code>equals</code>,
 * or <code>toString</code> methods of <code>java.lang.Object</code>,
 * when such a method is invoked on a proxy instance, the
 * <code>Method</code> object passed to the invocation handler will have
 * <code>java.lang.Object</code> as its declaring class.  In other words,
 * the public, non-final methods of <code>java.lang.Object</code>
 * logically precede all of the proxy interfaces for the determination of
 * which <code>Method</code> object to pass to the invocation handler.
 *
 * <p>Note also that when a duplicate method is dispatched to an
 * invocation handler, the <code>invoke</code> method may only throw
 * checked exception types that are assignable to one of the exception
 * types in the <code>throws</code> clause of the method in <i>all</i> of
 * the proxy interfaces that it can be invoked through.  If the
 * <code>invoke</code> method throws a checked exception that is not
 * assignable to any of the exception types declared by the method in one
 * of the proxy interfaces that it can be invoked through, then an
 * unchecked <code>UndeclaredThrowableException</code> will be thrown by
 * the invocation on the proxy instance.  This restriction means that not
 * all of the exception types returned by invoking
 * <code>getExceptionTypes</code> on the <code>Method</code> object
 * passed to the <code>invoke</code> method can necessarily be thrown
 * successfully by the <code>invoke</code> method.

     * refer to identical <code>Class</code> objects.
     *
     * <li>All of the interface types must be visible by name through the

     * <code>cl</code> and every interface <code>i</code>, the following
     * expression must be true:
     * <pre>
     *     Class.forName(i.getName(), false, cl) == i
     * </pre>
     *
     * <li>All non-public interfaces must be in the same package;
     * otherwise, it would not be possible for the proxy class to
     * implement all of the interfaces, regardless of what package it is
     * defined in.
     *
     * <li>For any set of member methods of the specified interfaces
     * that have the same signature:
     * <ul>
     * <li>If the return type of any of the methods is a primitive
     * type or void, then all of the methods must have that same
     * return type.
     * <li>Otherwise, one of the methods must have a return type that
     * is assignable to all of the return types of the rest of the
     * methods.
     * </ul>
     *
     * <li>The resulting proxy class must not exceed any limits imposed
     * on classes by the virtual machine.  For example, the VM may limit
     * the number of interfaces that a class may implement to 65535; in
     * that case, the size of the <code>interfaces</code> array must not
     * exceed 65535.
     * </ul>

     * <code>Proxy.getProxyClass</code> will throw an
     * <code>IllegalArgumentException</code>.  If the <code>interfaces</code>
     * array argument or any of its elements are <code>null</code>, a
