Interface StaplerProxy

public interface StaplerProxy

If an object delegates all its UI processing to another object, it can implement this interface and return the designated object from the getTarget() method.

Compared to StaplerFallback, stapler handles this interface at the very beginning, whereas StaplerFallback is handled at the very end.

By returning this from the getTarget() method, StaplerProxy can be also used just as an interception hook (for example to perform authorization.)
