hi all,
my company deploys a Java Swing desktop client to do its thing.
however we're having continual problems with proxies when our users
use our stuff from within their places of work.
ages ago i looked up java.net.useSystemProxies and i thought great,
Sun solved the problem for me. so i just set that property to true on
the command line, and thought that would take care of it.
well, not really. from packet traces it looks like the VM isn't even
noticing that i did this, and is attempting to make a direct
connection. looking around the network, it seems that others have
patchy results, too.
apparently the Mac VM, having a brain cell, just uses any proxy
configuration it finds. so, no problem there.
what is everyone else's experience with this, and are there subtleties
to this situation? i'd really rather not have to read installations'
custom scripts and implement proxy selectors to do the job myself!
thanks all
