Hi Michael, You can't set the Mozilla properties through the java System class. However, you can set (or get) the proxy, host, port, related information in the OS, which are the settings that Mozilla might be using too.
This might (or might not) work for you depending on what you are trying to do, but it might be something you may want to try if all else fails. :-) Good Luck! -Jeet ----------- >From: "Michael Epstein" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, >"browserg-tech" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: [Browserg-tech] Re: trouble setting proxy hostname preference on >Webclient >Date: Mon, 18 Mar 2002 16:31:02 -0500 > > > Michael Epstein wrote: > > > Has anyone using the Mozilla Webclient Java interface to embedding >tried > > > setting a proxy server via the org.mozilla.webclient.Preferences >interface? > >><---snip---> > > Jeet Shahani wrote: > > Mike, > > > > That should work..could be a bug. > > > > I can suggest a workaround, not sure if that will work in your case. > > How about changing these settings through java?
