Proxy-Servlet

The proxy-servlet provides a base class to make it easy to create proxy servlets.

Usage

Download the jar from maven central. This can be done by adding a Maven dependency such as;

<dependency>
   <groupId>org.realityforge.proxy-servlet</groupId>
   <artifactId>proxy-servlet</artifactId>
   <version>0.3.0</version>
</dependency>

A simple proxy that forwards to a url configured in JNDI.

@WebServlet( urlPatterns = { "/myservice/*" }, loadOnStartup = 1 )
public class MyServiceProxyServlet
  extends AbstractProxyServlet
{
  @Resource( lookup = "myservice/endpoint" )
  private String _proxyURL;

  @Override
  protected String getProxyURL()
  {
    return _proxyURL;
  }
}

Credit

This a customization of work done by David Smiley and he takes all the credit for the good parts of the library. All bugs are certainly Peter Donald's.
