Class Delegating

java.lang.Object
  com.thoughtworks.proxy.toys.delegate.Delegating

public class Delegating
extends Object

Toy factory to create proxies delegating to another object.

Such a proxy is used to mask the methods of an object, that are not part of a public interface. Or it is used to make an object compatible, e.g. when an object implements the methods of an interface, but does not implement the interface itself.
