Have you tried something like:
public void setSOCKS(String host,
                     String port,
                     String userid,
                     String password)
   Properties p = System.getProperties();
   p.put("socksProxyHost", host);
   p.put("socksProxyPort", port);
   p.put("java.net.socks.username", username);
   p.put("java.net.socks.password", password);
   System.setProperties(p);
