The Dynamic Proxy API [1] allows one to create proxy classes 
implementing number of specified interfaces.  I've wondered if it is 
possible and how to create such a proxy class for a specified class 
and not interface.  I've found Javassit should provide such means, 
but haven't really tried it yet:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Javassist

I basically want to create a proxy augmenting an existing object 
with additional interface.  Is the Javassist library the right tool 
for doing this?  Are there other similar tools?
