## Also known as
|
|
Surrogate
|
|
|
|
## Intent
|
|
Provide a surrogate or placeholder for another object to control
|
|
access to it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Applicability
|
|
Proxy is applicable whenever there is a need for a more
|
|
versatile or sophisticated reference to an object than a simple pointer. Here
|
|
are several common situations in which the Proxy pattern is applicable
|
|
|
|
* Remote proxy provides a local representative for an object in a different address space.
|
|
* Virtual proxy creates expensive objects on demand.
|
|
* Protection proxy controls access to the original object. Protection proxies are useful when objects should have different access rights.
|
|
|
|
## Typical Use Case
|
|
|
|
* Control access to another object
|
|
* Lazy initialization
|
|
* Implement logging
|
|
* Facilitate network connection
|
|
* Count references to an object
