| transports</a></h1> | |
| <h3>CommonsHTTPTransportSender</h3> | |
| <p>This is the default transport | |
| sender that is being used in Server API as well as Client | |
| API. HTTP | |
| funtionality of the Sender is based on commons-httpclient-3.0-rc2. In | |
| order to aquire the maxium flexibiliy, this sender has implemented POST | |
| interface and GET interface. This is mainly due to the fact that Axis2 | |
| SOAP stack has the tendency to support REST based services as well. </p> | |
| <p> | |
| Chunking support and KeepAlive support also integrated via the | |
| facilities provided by commons. It has the tendency to support HTTP | |
| version 1.0 and 1.1. As Chunking support is only available in HTTP | |
| version 1.1, thus, this distiction in sperating the tranport version | |
| is important. | |
| </p> | |
| <p> | |
| Tranport Sender sets in the axis2.xml's | |
| <tranposrtSender/> | |
| element, and it's being declared as follows, | |
| </p> | |
| <pre><transportSender name="http" class="org.apache.axis2.transport.http.CommonsHTTPTransportSender"><br> <parameter name="PROTOCOL" locked="xsd:false">HTTP/1.1</parameter><br> <parameter name="Transfer-Encoding">chunked</parameter><br></transportSender><br></pre> | |
| <code></code> | |
| <p>Above code snippet shows the | |
| complete configuration of the transport sender. | |
| <parameter/> element introduces the additional paraments | |
| that should be complient with the sender. HTTP PROTOCOL version sets as | |
| HTTP/1.0 or HTTP/1.1. Default version is HTTP/1.1. It should be noted | |
| that Chunking support is available at HTTP/1.1. Thus, the user should | |
| be careful of setting the "chunked" property only with version 1.1. | |
| KeepAlive is default in version 1.1. </p> | |
| <p>These are the only paramenters | |
| that is available from deployment. Other parameters such as character | |
| encoding style etc, are provided via MessageContext. </p> | |
