Re: jc and proxy

I used the following code in my main class :

     Properties pro = System.getProperties();
     boolean hasProxy = false;
     String proxy = pro.getProperty("proxySet");
     if (proxy != null && proxy.equals("true")) hasProxy = true;
     if (hasProxy)
        EOClientApplicationSupport.main(proxyArgsFromArgs(args));
      else
        EOClientApplicationSupport.main(args);


where proxyArgsFromArgs is defined by :

  private static String[] proxyArgsFromArgs(String[] args)
  {
          String applicationURL = "";
          int argsLength = args.length;
          int appURLIndex = 0;
          for (int i = 0; i < argsLength; ++i)
          {
            if (args[i].equals("-applicationURL")) {
              applicationURL = args[i + 1];
              appURLIndex = i + 1;
            }
          }

          if (appURLIndex == 0)
          {
            System.out.println("Missing -applicationURL argument. 
Exiting.");
            System.exit(1);
          }

          String restOfURL;
          String protocolEnd = "://";
          int startIndex = applicationURL.indexOf(protocolEnd);
          startIndex += protocolEnd.length();
          protocol = applicationURL.substring(0, startIndex);
          int endIndex = applicationURL.indexOf("/", startIndex);
          _host = applicationURL.substring(startIndex, endIndex);
          restOfURL = applicationURL.substring(endIndex,
                                                                             
              applicationURL.length());

          String hostName;
          int portNumber;
          endIndex = _host.indexOf(":");
          if (endIndex == -1)
          {
                  hostName = _host;
                  portNumber = 80;
          }
          else
          {
                  hostName = _host.substring(0, endIndex);
                  portNumber = Integer.valueOf(_host.substring(endIndex + 1,
                  _host.length())).intValue();
          }

          TCPProxy proxy = null;
          try {
                  proxy = new TCPProxy(hostName, portNumber, 8090, 8888);
          } catch (IOException e) {
                  e.printStackTrace();
                  System.exit(1);
          }
          int localPort = proxy.localListenPort();
//System.out.println("HERE?");
          applicationURL = protocol + "127.0.0.1" + ":" + localPort + 
restOfURL;

          args[appURLIndex] = applicationURL;

          return args;
  }


In the launch script of your Java app, you will need sommething like :

  -DproxySet=tru  -Dhttp.proxyHost=yourProxy -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080

I get this in this archive but I don't find it now. I hope that help.
