    #proxyserver data
proxyserver.address=proxyaddr
proxyserver.port=8080
  2. In WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml change the line on the beginning to 
     <!--  For proxy bypass, change the following path to config file -->
 <import resource="httpClient-conf/httpClient-proxy.xml"/>

Proxy with password protection

  1. In WEB-INF/m2-proxy.properties set address and port where the web proxy is running. Then set the username and password
    #proxyserver data
proxyserver.address=proxyaddr
proxyserver.port=8080


#proxyserver authorization
proxyserver.username=username
proxyserver.password=password
  2. In WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml change the line on the beginning to
