When attempting to access a syndication channel within the Information
Delivery Portal, the following error may occur:

  javax.servlet.ServletException: Problem accessing the absolute URL
  http://xxxxx.xxx.xx.xx/xxxxxxxx.xxx. java.net.ConnectException:
  Connection refused: connect
    at com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.jsp.servlet.JspServlet$JspServletWrapper
     .service(JspServlet.java:416)
    at com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.jsp.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile
     (JspServlet.java:683)
  ...

The above error will occur if a proxy server is being used and has not
been defined to the servlet container.

To correct the problem, define the proxy server host and port number in
the StartServletContainer.bat file when invoking the servlet container.

Add the following options to the startservletcontainer.bat file:

 -Djava.awt.headless=true -Dhttp.proxyHost=site_proxy.servername.xxx.xxx
 -Dhttp.proxyPort=##

where "site_proxy.servername.xxx.xxx" is the hostname of the proxy
server at the site and ## is the proxy port number.
