How to set a proxy for a JBoss Instance

Question

I have a JBoss instance running and I would like to route all traffic through a proxy.

I have tried setting the System Properties to load in run.sh as so:

JAVA_OPTS="-Dhttp.proxyHost=localhost -Dhttp.proxyPort=1234 $JAVA_OPTS"

But it seems JBoss ignores these as I still am not able to route through the proxy.

Any help?

Answer 1

In standalone.xml after

</extensions>

add the following

<system-properties>
    <property name="http.proxyHost" value="yourProxyIpAddress"/>
    <property name="http.proxyPort" value="yourProxyPort"/>
    <property name="http.nonProxyHosts" value="localhost"/> <!-- if you want to ignore localhost -->
</system-properties>

Take care if yor connections are http or https, because there is also a flag for https? Also you can set a blacklist (nonproxyhosts) http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/net/proxies.html
