axis http proxy settings...HELP?

[Adam Landefeld]

Hi all,
re: trying to get the axis client to communicate through an 
authenticated http proxy server

For some reason I am not able to set the http proxy credentials 
correctly for my axis web service client in a java application. The 
proxy host and port are used correctly.... every time.

I am doing the stuff that worked well in 1.0.. ie:
Properties props= new Properties(System.getProperties());
        props.put("http.proxySet", "true");
        props.put("http.proxyHost", "proxy.server.com");
        props.put("http.proxyPort", "8005");
        props.put("http.proxyUser", "username");
        props.put("http.proxyPassword", "password");
System.setProperties(props);
But in 1.1 and 1.2 the user and password are never added to the header. 
Can someone please, please, please tell me what they have done to get 
around this issue?

I will be indebted forever and forever... this has already consumed a 
week of my project time.

Thanks in advance!
