Connect through a proxy server with the ArcIMS Java Connector

Summary

Instructions provided describe the proceedure to connect the ArcIMS Java Connector to a remote ArcIMS server using an HTTP connection.

Procedure

1. Find the HTTP connection, the code will look like this:
   
   

   Code:
   java.net.URL connUrl = new java.net.URL("http://www.geographynetwork.com:80");
    
    connection.setConnectionType(connection.HTTP);
    connection.setUsername("myaccount");
    connection.setPassword("secret");
    connection.setUrl(connUrl);
   

   
   
2. Add the following lines of code shown in bold to use the proxy server:
   

   Code:
   java.net.URL connUrl = new java.net.URL("http://www.geographynetwork.com:80");
    
    connection.setConnectionType(connection.HTTP);
    connection.setUsername("myaccount");
    connection.setPassword("secret");
    connection.setUrl(connUrl);
   
    java.util.Properties prop = System.getProperties(); 
    prop.put("http.proxyHost","proxy.mycompany.com");
    prop.put("http.proxyPort","80");
   
   

   
   
3. The Java system properties http.proxyPort and http.proxyHost are used when connecting through a proxy server to a Web server.
   
   Set these properties before calling other functions, such as Map.initMap, which are used to connect to the ArcIMS server.
