Web Services Proxy Pattern

[Chih-Wei Lee]

Hi:
To access a web service, I am going to use Proxy design pattern in my architecture.
But how much detail I need to provide about the proxy class?
The proxy class is supposed to be generated by tool and it contains communication detail like form a SOAP message,
which is hard to show in diagram.
Can I just hide all of proxy class implementation detail and make assumption that it will generated by tool?

Best,

Hi,
When I've used this pattern for web services, I've just shown a class e.g. ExternalSystemService, put a stereotype saying that it's a Proxy and commented that business logic uses this class and JAX-WS libraries to connect external systems via web services. I didn't show any generated objects for web service messages.
