Mastering Spring Framework Fundamentals - The Proxy Design Pattern

The video tutorial introduces the concept of proxies, particularly in the context of Java and Spring. It begins with a real-life analogy of voting by proxy to explain the intermediary role of proxies. The tutorial then sets up a Java project in IntelliJ IDEA, focusing on dynamic proxies in Java. It provides a detailed guide on implementing a proxy, creating an interface, and using the proxy to wrap and delegate methods. The tutorial concludes with a demonstration of how proxies can intercept and add functionality to method calls.

In what ways can a proxy intercept method calls?

What is the role of the delegate in a proxy implementation?

What are the benefits of using a proxy in software design?
