Class ProxySelector
- java.lang.Object
-
- java.net.ProxySelector
public abstract class ProxySelector extends Object
Selects the proxy server to use, if any, when connecting to the network resource referenced by a URL. A proxy selector is a concrete sub-class of this class and is registered by invoking the setDefault
method. The currently registered proxy selector can be retrieved by calling getDefault
method.
When a proxy selector is registered, for instance, a subclass of URLConnection class should call the select
method for each URL request so that the proxy selector can decide if a direct, or proxied connection should be used. The select
method returns an iterator over a collection with the preferred connection approach.
If a connection cannot be established to a proxy (PROXY or SOCKS) servers then the caller should call the proxy selector's connectFailed
method to notify the proxy selector that the proxy server is unavailable.
The default proxy selector does enforce a set of System Properties related to proxy settings.

public ProxySelector()
Method Detail
getDefault
public static ProxySelector getDefault()
Gets the system-wide proxy selector.
- Returns:
- the system-wide
ProxySelector
- Throws:
-
SecurityException
- If a security manager has been installed and it deniesNetPermission
("getProxySelector")
- Since:
- 1.5

setDefault(ProxySelector)
setDefault
public static void setDefault(ProxySelector ps)
Sets (or unsets) the system-wide proxy selector. Note: non-standard protocol handlers may ignore this setting.
- Parameters:
-
ps
- The HTTP proxy selector, ornull
to unset the proxy selector. - Throws:
-
SecurityException
- If a security manager has been installed and it deniesNetPermission

getDefault()
select
public abstract List<Proxy> select(URI uri)
Selects all the applicable proxies based on the protocol to access the resource with and a destination address to access the resource at. The format of the URI is defined as follow:
- http URI for http connections
- https URI for https connections
-
socket://host:port
for tcp client sockets connections
- Parameters:
-
uri
- The URI that a connection is required to - Returns:
- a List of Proxies. Each element in the the List is of type
Proxy
; when no proxy is available, the list will contain one element of typeProxy
that represents a direct connection. - Throws:
-
IllegalArgumentException
- if the argument is null
connectFailed
public abstract void connectFailed(URI uri, SocketAddress sa, IOException ioe)
Called to indicate that a connection could not be established to a proxy/socks server. An implementation of this method can temporarily remove the proxies or reorder the sequence of proxies returned by select(URI)
, using the address and the IOException caught when trying to connect.
- Parameters:
-
uri
- The URI that the proxy at sa failed to serve. -
sa
- The socket address of the proxy/SOCKS server -
ioe
- The I/O exception thrown when the connect failed. - Throws:
-
IllegalArgumentException
- if either argument is null
of
public static ProxySelector of(InetSocketAddress proxyAddress)
Returns a ProxySelector which uses the given proxy address for all HTTP and HTTPS requests. If proxy is null
then proxying is disabled.
- Parameters:
-
proxyAddress
- The address of the proxy - Returns:
- a ProxySelector
