Editing Java Platform, Standard Edition (section)

===== Arrays and proxies =====
The <code>java.lang.reflect</code> package also provides an {{Javadoc:SE|java/lang/reflect|Array}} class that contains static methods for creating and manipulating array objects, and since J2SE 1.3, a {{Javadoc:SE|java/lang/reflect|Proxy}} class that supports dynamic creation of proxy classes that implement specified interfaces.

The implementation of a <code>Proxy</code> class is provided by a supplied object that implements the {{Javadoc:SE|java/lang/reflect|InvocationHandler}} interface.  The <code>InvocationHandler</code>'s {{Javadoc:SE|name=invoke(Object, Method, Object&#91;&#93;)|java/lang/reflect|InvocationHandler|invoke(java.lang.Object,java.lang.reflect.Method,java.lang.Object&#91;&#93;)}} method is called for each method invoked on the proxy object—the first parameter is the proxy object, the second parameter is the <code>Method</code> object representing the method from the interface implemented by the proxy, and the third parameter is the array of parameters passed to the interface method.  The <code>invoke()</code> method returns an <code>Object</code> result that contains the result returned to the code that called the proxy interface method.
