Error trying to start Jboss with Proxy settings

petejboss Sep 17, 2009 3:10 AM

Hi,

I have currently inherited a jboss installation and am trying to setup a development environment which unlike the production environment sits behind a proxy. Because of the proxy a call to an external web-service fails with a java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect.

When I try to pass the proxy settings in as jvm args the server fails to start and falls over with the error bellow.

Jboss version is [Trinity] 4.2.3.GA running on windows xp

Java opts are passed in run.bat as follows -Dhttp.proxySet=true -Dhttp.proxyHost=my.proxy.ip -Dhttp.proxyPort=80 -Dhttp.proxyUserName=myUsername -Dhttp.proxyPassword=myPassword

Any help much appreciated

Hi Pete,

I think "-Dhttp.proxyUserName=myUsername -Dhttp.proxyPassword=myPassword" are actually no official core Java properties and thus unsupported.
For a list:
http://java.sun.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/net/doc-files/net-properties.html

You might ask this in the Tiles forums.

There is a config file "server\default\conf\jax-ws-catalog.xml", which contains a catalog for resolving DTDs/schemas. You could add "tiles-config_1_3.dtd " to this one and point to some local directory (a production server should NOT perform internet lookups anyway). But I don't know whether this will work ;-).

Best regards

Wolfgang
