Sets Java's web proxy properties, so that tasks and code run in the same JVM can have through-the-firewall access to remote web sites, and remote FTP sites. You can nominate an HTTP and FTP proxy, or a SOCKS server, reset the server settings, or do nothing at all.
| Attribute | Description | Type | Required |
|---|---|---|---|
| nonproxyhosts | A list of hosts to bypass the proxy on. These should be separated with the vertical bar
character |. Only in Java 1.4 does FTP use this list. e.g. fozbot.corp.sun.com|*.eng.sun.com |
String | No |
| proxyhost | the HTTP/FTP proxy host. Set this to for the HTTP proxy option to be disabled. | String | No |
| proxypassword | Set the password for the proxy. Used only if the proxyUser is set. | String | No |
| proxyport | the HTTP/FTP proxy port number | int | No; default is 80 |
| proxyuser | set the proxy user. Probably requires a password to accompany this setting. | String | No; default is |
| socksproxyhost | The name of a SOCKS server. Set to to turn SOCKS proxying off. | String | No |
| socksproxyport | Set the ProxyPort for SOCKS connections. | int | No; default is 1080 |
Do nothing
<setproxy/>
Set the proxy to firewall:80
<setproxy proxyhost="firewall"/>
Set the proxy to firewall:81
<setproxy proxyhost="firewall" proxyport="81"/>
Stop using HTTP proxy; don't change SOCKS settings
<setproxy proxyhost=""/>
Use SOCKS via socksy:1080
<setproxy socksproxyhost="socksy"/>
Stop using the SOCKS server
<setproxy socksproxyhost=""/>
You can set a username and password for HTTP with the proxyHost and proxyPassword attributes. On Java 1.4 and above, these can also be used against SOCKS 5 servers.
