PROXY design pattern

From your statement I can only grasp till when you say that Proxy is a structural pattern, yeah and it is use to encapsulate the parent class that it is calling..

But the question is in object oriented programming a class is already encapsulkated using the private access modifier.

Proxy pattern is still very vague to me, I need a concrete and understandable example.

Cause you mention about that you use proxy pattern to solve the security issue of your application, I know but how, you mention something about dynamically doing something ,, I am completely out ,, Icant understand is there any text or online material that I could read up to understnad better....

Kianfatt, pls cross post your questions to multiple forums or drag up old threads. It will only succeed in irritating/anoying the people likely to help you.

The Proxy pattern is a stuctural pattern since it defines the stuctural pattersn define the relationships between classes. Behavioural Patterns define how classes will interact with each other.

Yes, proxy is conceptually similar to Encapsulation. Whereas encapsulation controls access to the members of a class. The Proxy works in a similar way for controlling access to a whole component or model.
