Using Proxy Connections in the JMS API

You can establish a connection to an event broker within your private network via an HTTP or SOCKS5 proxy server, which avoids the need for individual firewall exceptions. The proxy configuration is set with system properties, that are usually set on the java command line or JVM. It is important to note that system properties set on a JVM instance apply to all java applications running on the same JVM.


Properties for Proxy Server Configuration	Example JVM Command
Proxy Server Host	This parameter is required for all proxy connection. It can be a hostname or IP address: java -Dsolace.proxy.host=proxy.example.com javaApp or java -Dsolace.proxy.host=192.168.1.100 javaApp
Proxy Server Type	If the server type is not set, it defaults to `http`. This parameter can only be set to `http` or `socks5`: java -Dsolace.proxy.type=http javaApp or java -Dsolace.proxy.type=socks5 javaApp
Proxy Server Port	If the server port is not set, it defaults to 3128 for `http` and 1080 for `socks5`: java -Dsolace.proxy.port=8080 javaApp
Proxy Server Username	If you set a server username, you must also set a server password: java -Dsolace.proxy.username=my_proxy_username javaApp
Proxy Server Password	java -Dsolace.proxy.password=my_proxy_password javaApp

The following code snippet sets all proxy server parameters:

java -Dsolace.proxy.type={http} -Dsolace.proxy.host={proxy.example.com} \
			-Dsolace.proxy.port={8080} -Dsolace.proxy.username={my_proxy_username} \
			-Dsolace.proxy.password={my_proxy_password} javaApp
