Proxy settings in a java program

Question

I am trying to connect to a web service with a client generated from wsdl through a java program in eclipse. I am passing my request through a proxy server. But it seems that request is not getting through. Same proxy settings are working fine on SoapUI. Please find below the system properties set by me.

Properties props= new Properties(System.getProperties()); 

props.put("http.proxySet", "true"); 

props.put("http.proxyHost", "10.x.x.x"); 

props.put("http.proxyPort", "80");

props.put("http.proxyUser","domainName\\xxx");

props.put("http.proxyPassword","xxx");

Properties newprops = new Properties(props);

Java program throws an exception as java.net.UnknownHostException:

What is it I am missing?

Answer 1

I had the same problem. Just the following code works for me for setting proxy.

System.setProperty("java.net.useSystemProxies", "true");

Answer 2

I use the following code (and it works):

    String host = "10.x.x.x";
    String port = "80";
    System.out.println("Using proxy: " + host + ":" + port);
    System.setProperty("http.proxyHost", host);
    System.setProperty("http.proxyPort", port);
    System.setProperty("http.nonProxyHosts", "localhost|127.0.0.1");
