/**
 * Useful utility for allowing Java code to make Ajax calls, yet the Java code
 * can make these calls via Dynamic Proxies created from Java interfaces for
 * the remote server(s).
 *
 * Example:
 *
 * Assume you have a tomcat instance running a JSON Command Servlet, like com.cedarsoftware's or
 * Spring MVC.
 *
 * Assume you have a Java interface 'Explorer' that is mapped to a Java bean that you are allowing
 * to be called through RESTful JSON calls (Ajax / XHR).
 *
 * Explorer has methods on it, like getFiles(userId), etc.
 *
 * You need to use a SessionAware (JSESSIONID only) or CookieAware UrlInvocationHandler to interact
 * with the server so that the cookies will be placed on all requests.  In Javascript within browsers,
 * this is taken care of for you.  Not so in the Java side.
 *  * Map cookies = new HashMap();
 * String url = "http://www.mycompany.com:80/json/"
 *
 * InvocationHandler handler = new UrlInvocationHandler(new UrlInvocationHandlerStrategyImplementation(url, ...));
 * Explorer explorer = (Explorer) ProxyFactory.create(Explorer.class, handler);
 *
 * At this point, your Java code can do this:
 *
 * List files = explorer.getFiles(userId);
