20. Sterling Software COOL Products: A Better Way to Get Things Done Definition: A proxy is a local representation of an object that is located on a remote machine. The proxy represents the object’s interface to other objects on the local machine, appearing to them as a local object. A proxy is a local representation of an object that is located on a remote machine. The proxy represents the object’s interface to other objects on the local machine, appearing to them as a local object. As it pertains to Distributed Objects, a proxy is the most common mechanism for achieving the result of Remote Transparency.
