System.getProperties().setProperty("http.proxyHost", "localhost");
System.getProperties().setProperty("http.proxyPort", 9934);
The HTTP Proxy related functionalities of JBoss Web Services are provided by the Apache CXF http transport layer.
The suggested configuration mechanism when running JBoss Web Services is explained below; for further information please refer to the Apache CXF documentation.
The HTTP proxy configuration for a given JAX-WS client can be set in the following ways:
through the http.proxyHost and http.proxyPort system properties, or
leveraging the org.apache.cxf.transport.http.HTTPConduit options
The former is a JVM level configuration; for instance, assuming the http proxy is currently running at http://localhost:9934, here is the setup:
System.getProperties().setProperty("http.proxyHost", "localhost");
System.getProperties().setProperty("http.proxyPort", 9934);
The latter is a client stub/port level configuration: the setup is performed on the HTTPConduit object that's part of the Apache CXF Client abstraction.

Service service = Service.create(wsdlURL, new QName("http://org.jboss.ws/jaxws/cxf/httpproxy", "HelloWorldService"));
HelloWorld port = (HelloWorld) service.getPort(new QName("http://org.jboss.ws/jaxws/cxf/httpproxy", "HelloWorldImplPort"), HelloWorld.class);
Client client = ClientProxy.getClient(port);
HTTPConduit conduit = (HTTPConduit)client.getConduit();
ProxyAuthorizationPolicy policy = new ProxyAuthorizationPolicy();
policy.setAuthorizationType("Basic");
policy.setUserName(PROXY_USER);
policy.setPassword(PROXY_PWD);
conduit.setProxyAuthorization(policy);
port.echo("Foo");
The ProxyAuthorizationPolicy also allows for setting the authotization type as well as the username / password to be used.
Speaking of authorization and authentication, please note that the JDK already features the java.net.Authenticator facility, which is used whenever opening a connection to a given URL requiring a http proxy. Users might want to set a custom Authenticator for instance when needing to read WSDL contracts before actually calling into the JBoss Web Services / Apache CXF code; here is an example:
import java.net.Authenticator;
import java.net.PasswordAuthentication;
...
public class ProxyAuthenticator extends Authenticator
{
private String user, password;
public ProxyAuthenticator(String user, String password)
{
this.user = user;
this.password = password;
}
protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication()
{
return new PasswordAuthentication(user, password.toCharArray());
}
}
...
Authenticator.setDefault(new ProxyAuthenticator(PROXY_USER, PROXY_PWD));
