Are Java Proxies the second billion dollar mistake, as the InvocationTargetException might be the second most thrown exception after the famous NPE, or are proxies the next best thing since sliced bread?
Proxies are used all over the place in your application, whether you like it or not. So what are they, how are they used, and what are their benefits? Proxies provide a leverage point in your code where a small change can produce great effects. Learn how you can create and use your own proxies, and how Spring, CDI and Hibernate use proxies for their AND your benefit. After this session you will be the master of those proxies and the InvocationTargetException will no longer be a mystery to you.
