A simple point, but it would probably be useful to make a mention somewhere in
the JAX-WS-RI docs that you can setup a web service to use an HTTP proxy using
the java.net.ProxySelector facility.
I spent quite some time digging around to find this. I know that this is not
a JAX-WS specific point and is just part of the overall JSE API, but still, in
my case I didn't even think to look in the java.net package until I had
exhausted my googling and had dug into the JAX-WS-RI source, etc. (I didn't
even know about ProxySelector as I'd been using other HTTP clients like Apache
Commons HttpClient, etc.)
Here's the sample code I used to get it up and running:
public static class LocatorManagerProxySelector extends ProxySelector {
public List<Proxy> select(URI uri) {
List<Proxy> myList = new ArrayList<Proxy>();
myList.add(new Proxy(Type.HTTP,
new InetSocketAddress("PROXY_HOST", 8008)));
return myList;
}
public void connectFailed(URI uri,
SocketAddress sa,
IOException ioe) {
}
}
public static void METHOD_HERE() throws Exception {
ProxySelector.setDefault(new LocatorManagerProxySelector());
...
}
Minor point, but it might help others to just mention it somewhere.
