[SOLVED] [JAVA] SOAP request over http-proxy

[fink]

Hi,

i'm currently trying to post some soap-requests from our intranet to our server that is in the internet, which means i need to use a proxy. Here's what i try:

System.setProperty("http.proxySet","true");
System.setProperty("http.proxyHost","http-proxy.my-client.de");
System.setProperty("http.proxyPort","8080"); 

SoapProvisioning sp = new SoapProvisioning();
sp.soapSetURI("https://my-company.de:7071/service/soap");
sp.soapAdminAuthenticate("admin", "adminpwd");

Account account = sp.get(Provisioning.AccountBy.name, "me@my-company.de");
System.out.println(account);

The exception that is thrown shows, that the System-properties regarding the proxy are simply ignored:
[...]
Caused by: java.net.UnknownHostException: my-company.de
[...]

I dont see how i can bind a proxy to the Object of Class SoapProvisioning.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks

SoapProvisioning uses our SoapHttpTransport to invoke the request, which then uses Jakarta Commons HttpClient 3.0. Ideally you should be able to specify SoapTransport options on SoapProvisioning. I poked around in the code and didn't find a way to do this. You could take a look at HttpClient and see if they have their own system-wide properties for specifying a proxy.

If you think this is something we should add to the product, please file an RFE in Bugzilla.

I've checked out the Edison-Branch from your SVN and added a method to SoapProvisioning.java:

   public void soapSetTransport(HttpClient httpClient, String uri) {
        if (mTransport != null) mTransport.shutdown();
        mTransport = new SoapHttpTransport(httpClient, uri);
        if (mAuthToken != null)
            mTransport.setAuthToken(mAuthToken);
        if (mDebugListener != null)
            mTransport.setDebugListener(mDebugListener);
    }

and a constructor for SoapHttpTransport:

    public SoapHttpTransport(HttpClient httpClient, String uri)
    {
	super();
	mClient = httpClient;
	commonInit(uri);
     }

Now i can instantiate a SoapProvisioning like this:

HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient();
httpClient.getHostConfiguration().setProxy("proxy-host", 8080);
SoapProvisioning sp = new SoapProvisioning();
sp.soapSetTransport(httpClient, soapURI);

I've also added a method in ZMailbox.Options:

        public void setHttpClient(HttpClient httpClient)
        {
        	mHttpClient=httpClient;
        }

and changed the initPreAuth- and setSoapURI-Methods:

    public void initPreAuth(String uri, SoapTransport.DebugListener listener, HttpClient httpClient) {
        mNameToTag = new HashMap<String, ZTag>();
        mIdToItem = new HashMap<String, ZItem>();                
        setSoapURI(uri, httpClient);
        if (listener != null) mTransport.setDebugListener(listener);
    }

   private void setSoapURI(String uri, HttpClient httpClient) {
        if (mTransport != null) mTransport.shutdown();
        if (httpClient != null)  mTransport = new SoapHttpTransport(httpClient, uri);
        else mTransport = new SoapHttpTransport(uri);
        mTransport.setUserAgent("zclient", BuildInfo.VERSION);
        mTransport.setMaxNoitfySeq(0);
        if (mAuthToken != null)
            mTransport.setAuthToken(mAuthToken);
    }

Now its working

Great! Glad you were able to get it working. I filed bug 34091 for this issue.

Oops, I just took a closer look and realized that proxy support was added in 5.0. See bug 15835 for details.
