chris,

i am getting a similar error when i try to connect to a remote service from a machine that is located behind a proxy server.

my source code:

public class HolidaysClient {

public static void main(String[] args) throws NamingException, ServiceException, RemoteException, MalformedURLException {
URL url = new URL("http://www.holidaywebservice.com/Holidays/HolidayService.asmx?WSDL");

QName qname = new QName("http://www.27seconds.com/Holidays/", "HolidayService");

ServiceFactory factory = ServiceFactory.newInstance();
HolidayService service = (HolidayService) factory.createService(url, qname);

HolidayServiceSoap hs = (HolidayServiceSoap) service.getHolidayServiceSoap();
GetHolidaysAvailable request = new GetHolidaysAvailable();
request.setCountryCode("US");
GetHolidaysAvailableResponse response = hs.getHolidaysAvailable(request);

GetHolidaysAvailableResponseGetHolidaysAvailableResult result = response.getGetHolidaysAvailableResult();

System.out.println(result);
}
}

My error:

when i replace the code above with this test code i can connect to the remote host and retrieve its content:

InetAddress iAddress = InetAddress.getByName(MY_PROXY_SERVER);
InetSocketAddress address = new InetSocketAddress(iAddress, 80);
Proxy proxy = new Proxy(Type.HTTP, address);
URLConnection connection = url.openConnection(proxy);

i believe there needs to be some way to configure JBossWS to utilize a proxy server...but i could be mistaken. can anyone at Jboss enlighten me?

Got another problem with proxied network and jboss trying to access external urls...

My SQUID reports:

1152805871.888 4 jboss_ip_address TCP_DENIED/400 1730 POST http://proxy_ip_address:proxy_porthttp://external_url - NONE/- text/html

JBoss should be configured for HTTP proxy server, that you will be
using to access dtd/schema, etc behind the firewall.

Open run.sh and add the following lines before the java run command.

rem Setup JBoss HTTP proxy server configuration
set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Dhttp.proxyHost=<proxy server>
-Dhttp.proxyPort=<proxy port> -DproxySet=true
