Configuring Global Settings

To access Web services remotely from the J2EE Engine, you have to configure HTTP proxy settings, timeout settings, and Web Service Navigator white list.

You have access to the Visual Administrator tool. For more information, see Visual Administrator .

1. In the Visual Administrator, choose Web Services Container.
2. On the Runtime tab, choose the Settings tab.
3. To configure HTTP Proxy Server Settings, proceed as follows:
   • In the Proxy Host field, enter the host of the HTTP server.
   • In the Proxy Port field, enter the port of the server.
   • In the Exclude List field, enter addresses or parts of addresses, which are ignored by the proxy server. To separate entries, use semicolons (;). You have to add the local IP addresses and domains, which do not use the proxy server. For example, *.sap.corp and 10.*
   • If the proxy server requires authentication, enter a user name and a password.
   • If you choose Bypass proxy server for local addresses, the system accesses local addresses directly without using the proxy.
4. To configure Timeout Settings, in the WS Clients Socket Timeout field, enter socket timeout in seconds for the Web service clients' requests. By default, it is 60 seconds.
5. To configure Web Service Navigator White List, in the Allowed Hosts field, enter hostnames or parts of hostnames of remote systems, to which you are allowed to connect via Web Services Navigator. To separate entries, use semicolons (;), you can use an asterisk (*), or a question mark (?), as wildcards. For example, if you want to enable connection to all remote systems, in the Allowed Hosts field, enter an asterisk (*).
6. Choose Save.
