How to set Proxy by jersey client

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10415607/jersey-client-set-proxy#

There is an easier approach, if you want to avoid more libraries in legacy projects and there is no need for Proxy Authentication:

-1. First you need a class which implements HttpURLConnectionFactory:

import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.HttpURLConnection;
import java.net.InetSocketAddress;
import java.net.Proxy;
import java.net.URL;

import com.sun.jersey.client.urlconnection.HttpURLConnectionFactory;


public class ConnectionFactory implements HttpURLConnectionFactory {

    Proxy proxy;

    private void initializeProxy() {
        proxy = new Proxy(Proxy.Type.HTTP, new InetSocketAddress("myproxy.com", 3128));

        //proxy = new Proxy(Proxy.Type.SOCKS, new InetSocketAddress("localhost", 1047));
    }

    public HttpURLConnection getHttpURLConnection(URL url) throws IOException {
        initializeProxy();
        return (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection(proxy);
    }
}

-2. Second is to instantiate an com.sun.jersey.client.urlconnection.URLConnectionHandler

URLConnectionClientHandler ch  = new URLConnectionClientHandler(new ConnectionFactory());

-3. Third is to use the Client Constructor instead of Client.create:

Client client = new Client(ch);
Of course you can customize the initializing of the Proxy in the ConnectionFactory.
