The WSO2 SOA platform has the capabilities of Axis2 to add modules to extend it. The global modules will affect all the services deployed within the server.

A Module is an archive file that bundles a set of classes, related libraries and third party library dependencies. WSO2 Carbon provides a user-friendly interface to engage, disengage and configure these modules. You can learn more about Axis2 modules in the Modules section.

Modules can be engaged in three levels:

  • Service level (As described here) - A module will be engaged only for a certain service.
  • Service group level - A module will be engaged for a service group.
  • Global level - A module will be engaged for all the services.
  • Operations level - A module will be engaged for a particular operation of a service.

Note

To upload your module archive, all the class files and the module.xml descriptor file have to be available in the archive.
