Recognize the Java runtime system variable for HTTP proxies
-----------------------------------------------------------

         Key: XFIRE-401
         URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/XFIRE-401
     Project: XFire
        Type: Improvement

    Versions: 1.1-RC1    
 Environment: N/A
    Reporter: Stefan Freyr Stefansson
 Assigned to: Dan Diephouse 


Currently it seems that the only way to specify a proxy for an XFire client is 
by doing it programatically when creating the client:

      MySoap client = stub.getMySoap();
      Client http = ((XFireProxy) 
Proxy.getInvocationHandler(client)).getClient();
      http.setProperty(CommonsHttpMessageSender.HTTP_PROXY_HOST, "localhost");
      http.setProperty(CommonsHttpMessageSender.HTTP_PROXY_PORT, "8080");

This means that if you want to be able to transparently set a proxy you'll have 
to code some logic to check whether a property is set everywhere you create a 
client. A much more convenient way would be if the generated code from XFire 
took into account the standard Java environment properties for setting a proxy 
(as documented here: 
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/net/properties.html). This would 
provide much convenience and flexibility in how to set whether or not to use an 
HTTP proxy as explained here: http://www.rgagnon.com/javadetails/java-0085.html.
