How to set proxy for Spring StandardWebSocketClient

Question

I am trying to establish a WebSocket connection using Spring StandardWebSocketClient, but getting an error due to proxy settings as the server is running behind the proxy. Below is the code I am using.

StandardWebSocketClient aStandardWebSocketClient=new StandardWebSocketClient();
WebSocketConnectionManager manager = new WebSocketConnectionManager(aStandardWebSocketClient, new WebSockethandler(), aWebSockURL);

Able to make a rest call by setting proxy configuration successfully.

Is there any proxy configuration available for making StandardWebSocketClient connect to websocket server?

SimpleClientHttpRequestFactory factory = new SimpleClientHttpRequestFactory();
InetSocketAddress address = new InetSocketAddress("proxyHost",8080);
Proxy proxy = new Proxy(Proxy.Type.HTTP,address);
factory.setProxy(proxy);
restTemplate.setRequestFactory(factory);

After Screening the sourcecode of the StandardWebSocketClient implementation I don't think that proxy settings are supported currently. However I was able to establish a wss connection via a proxy using jetty-libs in spring boot:
