title: How to configure proxy for Tomcat on Windows server
body: <p>I have a small webapp running on Windows server 2008 R2 and Tomcat 7.0. Also use the Tomcat service configuration/monitor utility to manage the webapp. 
  At the moment the service is behind an http proxy, and need to communicate with a webpage outside. I tried setting <code>-Dhttp.proxyHost=&lt;server&gt;</code> and <code>-Dhttp.proxyPort=&lt;port&gt;</code> against Java options in the configuration tool.  Also tried setting the flags in <code>conf/catalina.properties</code> but still doesn't help.. What could I be doing wrong ? Does it have anything to do with the Windows proxy settings ?</p>

  <p>EDIT: I tried all possibilities, Java Configuration, Internet explorer settings and the jvm flags as said in the question. None of them works. </p>
