181] Generating Static Proxy Classes - 2/2
In this newsletter, we show how the Generator described in our previous issue can be used to create virtual proxy classes statically, that is, by generating code instead of using dynamic proxies. |

180] Generating Static Proxy Classes - 1/2
In this newsletter, we have a look at how we can create new classes in memory and then inject them into any class loader. This will form the basis of a system to generate virtual proxies statically. |
