Connection configuration properties behind proxy

Question

I'm trying to reach a web service registry from behind proxy. In order to connect to it I'm setting it's address and port using
props.setProperty("javax.xml.registry.http.proxyHost", httpProxyHost);
props.setProperty("javax.xml.registry.http.proxyPort", httpProxyPort);
but getting HTTP 407 error - Proxy Authentication Required. I believe I need to set my proxy ID and password somehow. Dos anyone know how to do that? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

First, what API has the "javax.xml.registry" in it. I cant find any reference to it. I could have missed it I suppose. Let me know and I will take a look.
Other ideas after looking at your code that you can try in the meantime.
Since the Properties class is a hashtable it is based on key word value. The ConnectionFactory class needs to know the exact key.
Try changing the following:
props.setProperty("javax.xml.registry.http.proxySet", "true");
to:
props.setProperty("proxySet", "true");
Do that for each line. Just use the last word (i.e. proxyHost, proxyPort). It could simply be that ConnectionFactory is not finding the correct key.
I could be wrong here, but I am waiting to find out what API you are using.
The SoapHTTPConnection class has a number of methods for working with a proxy, such as setPassword and setHost. Perhaps ConnectionFactory has the same settings or the connection returned has methods for this.
Im not sure what class the createConnection method returns, but check there for appropriate methods.
