Dynamic Proxies in Java Quotes

“Most of us have used dynamic proxies, often without realizing it. A lot of frameworks and tools are built on dynamic proxies.”
― Heinz Kabutz, Dynamic Proxies in Java

“A method call overhead of 4.5 nanoseconds for increment() and 1.4 nanoseconds for consumeCPU() would seldom be noticed with a typical business-logic method.
Still, it is good to be aware that there is a slightly higher method-call cost and perhaps to avoid dynamic proxies for performance-sensitive code, especially if we are calling the proxied methods in a tight loop.”
― Heinz Kabutz, Dynamic Proxies in Java

“Security is either extremely boring, when it works, or super exciting (in a bad way), when it doesn’t.”
― Heinz Kabutz, Dynamic Proxies in Java

“Embassies are local representations of remote countries. We visit them when we need to apply for a visa, to renew our passport, or to interact with the remote entity (the country’s government) without getting on a plane. Embassies are a bit like remote proxies.”
― Heinz Kabutz, Dynamic Proxies in Java

“An architect is a person who plans, designs, and reviews the construction of buildings. Their finished product is hard to change as it is, literally, poured in concrete. Software changes all the time, even many years after installation, so it is surprising just how much architect Christopher Alexander’s 1977 book A Pattern Language: Towns, Buildings, Construction has influenced the software industry. Alexander’s book is about the timeless way of building.”
