SOCKS and Tomcat

["Rutledge, Aaron" <AR...@5prime.com>]

Sorry list, I'm trying this again.  It got quickly buried last time, and
I just KNOW someone out there has run into this configuration problem
before.  Plus, I really have nowhere else to look--I've checked every
other resource I can think of.

I am trying to use Tomcat behind a SOCKS firewall.  I have a servlet
that is trying to access information outside the application context and
I am getting the following exceptions....

java.net.NoRouteToHostException: No route to host: connect
        at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketConnect(Native Method)
        at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.doConnect(PlainSocketImpl.java:295)

...and so on


I found on a really old post that I need to set TOMCAT_OPTS =
-DsocksProxyHost=<my proxy's ip> -DsocksProxyPort=1080
I have set an environmental variable (I am using W2K), but I am still
having problems.  Is there something more I need to do?  I can't find
any documentation on this.  Any help GREATLY appreciated!  

Best regards, Aaron
