There is some limitations in current proxy instantiation model:
Also in current implementation there is serialization problem: if target class implements java.io.Externalizable then no proxy fields will be stored and restored object will be invalid.
Note that proxy does not need to have any valid state at all.
Solution is to use Objenesis library ( http://objenesis.googlecode.com/svn/docs/index.html ). It can instantiate objects without calling any constructor.
For serialization issue proxy should implement java.io.Externalizable and save/restore properties in writeExternal/readExternal methods.
