WSO2 AS inherits many features from the Carbon platform, which allows you the flexibility of configuring your server to provide the necessary support for your web applications. See the section on working with web applications in the administration guide to find information on the server settings that will directly apply to your applications.
Connecting to an application
WSO2 AS supports a variety of transports . Among these, the HTTP and HTTPS servlet transports are used by the applications hosted on AS to connect with other clients and applications. The receiver implementation for the HTTP and HTTPS transports are built into Carbon products, and the sender implementation comes from the Tomcat http connector, which is configured in the catalina-server.xml file (stored in the <PRODUCT_HOME>/repository/conf/tomcat/ folder).
