    Study Notes

    Proxy Pattern

    • A design pattern providing a surrogate or placeholder for another object, controlling access.
    • Aims to add intermediary layers between clients and objects, for functionality, security or performance improvements.
    • Real-world examples include access control, logging, caching, and remote object access.

    Proxy Pattern Structure

    • A Proxy class that implements the same interface as the original object.
    • A Real Subject class that represents the actual object being accessed.

    Proxy Pattern Diagram

    • Subject Interface: Defines common methods and properties for both RealSubject and Proxy.
    • RealSubject Class: The actual object the client wants to access. Implements methods from the interface.
    • Proxy Class: Implements the same interface as the original object. Controls access to the RealSubject. This can intercept requests, add functionality or delegate to RealSubject.
    • Client: Interacts with the Proxy object and believes it's directly interacting with the RealSubject.

    Advantages of Proxy Pattern

    • Access Control: The Proxy controls access to the RealSubject based on specific criteria.
    • Lazy Initialization: The Proxy can delay the creation of the RealSubject until it is needed, improving performance and reducing resource usage.

    Example: Location-Based Website Access Proxy

    • A scenario where a proxy restricts website access based on user location.
    • A LocationBasedWebAccessProxy controls whether a website is accessible to a specific user based on their location.
    • The example involves a client, Proxy, and RealSubject objects, to control website access.
    • The output shows examples of how the method is working in a programming language (csharp) and demonstrates website access based on different user locations.

    Step-by-Step Implementation (Example)

    • Step 1: Define the Subject Interface (IWebAccess). This defines the method for accessing websites along with URL and user location as parameters.
    • Step 2: Implement the Real Subject (RealWebAccess). This class implements the actual logic of accessing the websites.
    • Step 3: Implement the Proxy (LocationBasedWebAccessProxy). This class checks the user's location before allowing access.
    • Step 4: Client Code (example). This shows how a client could use the proxy for website access, demonstrating the access control logic.
