Hello,
yes you need to configure a proxy. I have done it with Apache2 that supports cgi technology, but I don’t know how to do it with tomcat.
OpenLayers.ProxyHost="/proxy/?url=";
This code line is to locate the proxy.cgi so you have to put there the relative path to your proxy.cgi file.
There is an example in OL website anyway you should use an example of proxy.cgi like this one: (notice that allowed hosts is a list of reachable servers where you have to include your WMS URL or simply your server URL)
#!/usr/bin/env python
"""This is a blind proxy that we use to get around browser
restrictions that prevent the Javascript from loading pages not on the
same server as the Javascript. This has several problems: it's less
efficient, it might break some sites, and it's a security risk because
people can use this proxy to browse the web and possibly do bad stuff
with it. It only loads pages via http and https, but it can load any
content type. It supports GET and POST requests."""
