Configuring Java Virtual Machine (JVM) HTTP Proxy Settings 

Use

The selling via eBay® (SVE) application requires a connection to an eBay API server in the Internet. HTTP proxy settings are therefore mandatory.

Procedure

If you have installed the SVE application on a J2EE (SAP NetWeaver 2004s) server with SAP Enterprise Portal installed, the HTTP proxy parameters maintained in the J2EE Engine configuration tool are overwritten by the portal service. You must therefore set the HTTP proxy in the portal service using the procedure described in System Properties for Proxy Server*, and not in the J2EE Engine configuration tool.

* You can also search for this topic on SAP Help Portal (help.sap.com) under SAP NetWeaver.

To set the proxy:

...

       1.      Run the J2EE Engine configuration tool, which is located in the following directory:

<J2EE-DIR>/configtool

       2.      Add the following Java parameters to the instance on which the SVE application is deployed:

¡        -Dhttp.proxySet=true

¡        -Dhttp.proxyHost=proxy.xyz.com

¡        -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080

¡        -Dhttps.proxyHost=proxy.xyz.com

¡        -Dhttps.proxyPort=8080

¡        -Dhttp.nonProxyHosts=*.xyz.com

¡        -Dhttps.nonProxyHosts=*.xyz.com

For more information, see Configuring Instance Properties, which you can find on SAP Help Portal under SAP NetWeaver.

Result

All applications that use outbound HTTP connections from the J2EE server are affected by these settings.
