Axis 1.X WSDD Reference: transport

Can be used in

Description

The transport on the client side is responsible for sending the message to the ultimate receiver or an intermediary. The following deployment descriptor replaces the default HTTPSender with a sender using GZIP for compression of SOAP messages. The transport is configured with a parameter concerning a Accept-Encoding HTTP header.

<deployment xmlns="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/">
    <transport name="http" pivot="com.osmoticweb.axis.GZIPHTTPSender">
        <parameter name="Accept-Encoding" value="deflate, gzip" />
    </transport>
</deployment>

Handlers can be plugged into the request flow and the response flow of a transport. In the example, a security handler is placed in the request and response flow.

<deployment xmlns="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/" 
            xmlns:java="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/providers/java">
    <transport name="http" pivot="org.apache.axis.transport.http.HTTPSender">
        <requestFlow>
            <handler name="SecurityHandler"
                     type="java:com.osmoticweb.axis.SecurityHandler"/>
        </requestFlow>
	<responseFlow>
            <handler name="SecurityHandler"
                     type="java:com.osmoticweb.axis.SecurityHandler"/>
        </responseFlow>
    </transport>
</deployment>

Incoming requests at the server side are received by a transport. A transport has a request and response chain.
