Set up proxy data to Spring SOAP web service template

Question

I'm working on an application where I have to consume a SOAP webservice and convert it to Rest based webservices. I followed the tutorial from Spring team and was capable to generate pojos, but when I try to make the call using the webServiceTemplate I have an error that the host is not recognized which is basically because I'm behind a proxy in our company.

The technology stack I'm using is Spring boot with web module and spring-ws-core, and I would like to know how to set up my proxy data in the webServiceTemplate.

Thanks

Try to setup the template according this answer.

Afterwards you should be able to set it within your class extending WebServiceGatewaySupport using

setWebServiceTemplate(WebServiceTemplate webServiceTemplate)

Thanks for the answer however I'm not using a virtual machine to set up this properties. Should I provide them as environment variables (I'm working on Windows OS) – Habchi Aug 06 '18 at 11:05
Where exactly do you see a relation/restriction to a virtual machine? – pma Aug 06 '18 at 11:16
I'm sorry, does the VM arguments mentioned in the response are arguments to use when launching the application ? Java -jar application.jar [properties]?! – Habchi Aug 06 '18 at 11:18
Yes, that would be the JVM arguments: java -Dhttp.proxyHost=[yourProxy] -Dhttp.proxyPort=[yourPort] -jar application.jar However be aware, that I linked to the answer below, which sets the proxy programmatically. – pma Aug 06 '18 at 11:24
It didn't work with JVM arguments but I found a solution now. I posted my answer in case someone is facing the same problem. – Habchi Aug 14 '18 at 12:54

After a lot of research, I came up with a programmatic solution. Once you defined your SOAP client that will extend WebServiceGatewaySupport class, I created a configuration class (annotated with @configuration that will declare a bean of my SOAP client. In this method, I used the following code to setup my proxy information and thus I was able to consume my web service:

@Bean
    public CommerceSoapClient commerceSoapClient(Jaxb2Marshaller marshaller) {
        CommerceSoapClient commerceService = new CommerceSoapClient();

        //Setup proxy
        HttpClientBuilder builder = HttpClientBuilder.create();
        builder.addInterceptorFirst(new HttpComponentsMessageSender.RemoveSoapHeadersInterceptor());
        HttpHost proxy = new HttpHost("127.0.0.1", 8080);
        builder.setProxy(proxy);


        CloseableHttpClient httpClient = builder.build();

        HttpComponentsMessageSender messageSender = new HttpComponentsMessageSender(httpClient);

        WebServiceTemplate webServiceTemplate = new WebServiceTemplate();
        webServiceTemplate.setMessageSender(messageSender);
        webServiceTemplate.setDefaultUri("http://your webservice address path");
        webServiceTemplate.setUnmarshaller(marshaller);
        webServiceTemplate.setMarshaller(marshaller);


        commerceService.setDefaultUri("https://your webservice address path");
        commerceService.setWebServiceTemplate(webServiceTemplate);

        return commerceService;
    }
