Access ArcGIS map service via proxy

[SamLaker]

I am using ArcGIS server 9.3 and Javascript API 2.5. I need to access a map service via proxy. Following is how I thought this could be done.

• From my map interface, I want to make a dummy request to a Struts action class


• Access the map service from within the action class


• Return the results back to the map interface

Please let me know how I could achieve this. Any working example is very much appreciated.
