/**
 * A class derived from <code>DelegatingInvocationHandler</code> handles a
 * method call by looking for a method in itself with identical parameters. If
 * no such method is found, it forwards the call to a fallback object, which
 * must implement all of the interfaces which this proxy implements.
 *
 * <p>It is useful in creating a wrapper class around an interface which may
 * change over time.</p>
 *
 * <p>Example:</p>
 *
 * <blockquote>
 * <pre>import java.sql.Connection;
 * Connection connection = ...;
 * Connection tracingConnection = (Connection) Proxy.newProxyInstance(
 *     null,
 *     new Class[] {Connection.class},
 *     new DelegatingInvocationHandler() {
 *         protected Object getTarget() {
 *             return connection;
 *         }
 *         Statement createStatement() {
 *             System.out.println("statement created");
 *             return connection.createStatement();
 *         }
 *     });</pre>
