ClientFactoryBean vs ClientProxyFactoryBean

Hi everyone, 

Can someone tell me what is the difference between "ClientFactoryBean" and
"ClientProxyFactoryBean" ?

Many thanks.

The "ClientFactoryBean" creates our "ClientImpl" objects which contains our 
generic "invoke" methods and handles the contexts and such.  The ClientProxy 
versions create the Proxy wrappers for the ClientImpl that provide the nice 
typed instances that implement the passed in interfaces and such.  They serve 
slightly different purposes.   

Most USERS that are working with typed interfaces and such prefer the Proxy.    
It's nice to work with.   

Most frameworks (like Camel and SMX and such) generally work with the Client 
directly as the proxies require generated (or hand coded) interfaces.
