Hi, i'm sure this has been asked a hundred times, but i can't find the answer on google. I'm trying to make my servlet connect to an external webservice, but we have an http proxy at work.
I was initially trying to put this code in my servlet method: System.setProperty("http.proxyHost", "proxy.myHost.com"); System.setProperty("http.proxyPort", "80"); Which works fine when run as a normal Java application, but does not work when run inside tomcat servlet. I have to manually add http.proxyPort=80 http.proxyHost= proxy.myHost.com To my catalina.properties file for it to work. why does it work from catalina.properties but not from System.setProperty??
