Java SOAP through HTTP firewall?

Thread view:

Robert M. Gary - 21 Oct 2005 23:07 GMT

Is it true that there is no way to push a SOAP message from behind a
firewall because java's SOAP implementation does not allow the use of
proxys? The SOAPConnction object only allows a URL to be given (not a
URLConnection that supports proxys).

You must do...
URL endpoint = new
URL("http://soapclient.com/xml/SQLDataSoap.WSDL");
SOAPMessage response = connection.call(message, endpoint);

but really want to be able to do...

URL endpoint = new
URL("http://soapclient.com/xml/SQLDataSoap.WSDL");
URLConnection conn = endpoint.openConnection(proxy);
//Send the message
SOAPMessage response = connection.call(message, conn );

BTW: I'm already setting...
System.getProperties().put("proxySet", "true");
System.getProperties().put("proxyHost", "http://foo.com");
System.getProperties().put("proxyPort", 8088);
System.getProperties().put("socksProxyHost",
"http://foo.com");
System.getProperties().put("http.proxyHost",
"http://http://foo.com");
System.getProperties().put("http.proxyPort", 8088);

System.setProperty("proxySet", "true");
System.setProperty("http.proxyHost", "http://foo.com");
//System.setProperty( "http.proxyPort", "8088");
System.setProperty("http.proxyUser", "joe");
System.setProperty("http.proxyPassword", "trust");

System.setProperty("http.proxySet", "true");
System.setProperty("http.proxyHost", "http://foo.com");
//System.setProperty("http.proxyPort", 8088);
System.setProperty("http.proxyUser", "joe");
System.setProperty("http.proxyPassword", "trust");

And therein lies your problems:

Does "http://foo.com" look like a hostname?

I made it up because I didn't want you to know the name of my actual
proxy host. Should I also publish my user and password? Would that be
helpful?

Being a smart a.s is an excellent way to get experts to assist you.

Bravo!

Perhaps a more appropriate reaction would have been the realization that you
need to explain if you are going to change the code before asking others to
review it.

Possibly, but you would set up a dummy account with just enough power
to let others help you.

My point was, you entered an URL, not a hostname. I don't care what the
name of your host was, just that what you entered could not possibly be one.

To spell it out to you in words of one syllable (oops - 3 right there!),
you should have done:

System.getProperties().put("proxyHost", "foo.com");

how did you learn that? I was under the impression that SOAP
piggybacked on HTTP and as such would not be meddling in such affairs.
