Also have a look here

Proxies in XI are termed as ABAP and Java proxies

They are termed as "Proxies" bcoz they act as interfaces between 2 applications. They r not related to "Reverse Proxy". Just the name game

Hi pete

As prateek pointed out the term "reverse proxy" is much of a networking term.

Refer to the following wikipedia for more interesting info
