Sorry this isnt a scripting question but...Does anyone know if it is possible to proxy Java through a firewall. The problem is that our eforms logon server sends a redirect to the forms server and then the client runs the java script for the form. Problem is that if they stop the rediretc, they can pick up the URL of the forms server, and thus can go direct to the forms server, unsecure. I know we will lock the firewall down a bit more, but I wanted to use the firewall as a proxy but know that Java is client server and dont know if it can be proxied.
 
A little more explanation would help. But in general, when using HTTP, you can set the system properties http.proxyHost, http.proxyPort, https.proxyHost and https.proxyPort using

System.setProperty("http.proxyhost", myHostName);

Try that first.

Greg.
