		   address of the Racer:
			<parameter name="Address" value="http://localhost:8080"/>
					   
   	
		*  Otherwise, use the Pellet reasoner
			Change the "Address" of the "Reasoner" to the address
			of the Pellet: 
			<parameter name="Address" value="http://localhost:8081"/>
			
	(2.3) set the proxy server variables

		set the "value"s of the "server" and "port" parameters
		to the setting of proxy server for your Local Area Network.
		
		<serviceOptions class="ProxyVariables">

			<parameter name="port" 		value=""/>	
		</serviceOptions>
	
		To find the setting of the proxy server, 
			* please open a Internet Explore
			* choose the "Internet options" under the "tools" menu
			* choose the "connection" under the Internet options
			* choose the "LAN settings" under the "connection" option
