TCP Transport

The TCP transport implementation is in the Apache WS-Commons Transports project. The two classes that act as the transport listener and the sender are org.apache.axis2.transport.tcp.TCPServer and org.apache.axis2.transport.tcp.TCPTransportSender respectively. In order to use the transport axis2-transport-tcp.jar should be added to the Carbon classpath.

Transport Receiver Parameters

Parameter Name	Description	Requried	Possible Values	Default Value
port	The port on which the TCP server should listen for incoming messages	No	A positive integer less than 65535	8000
hostname	The host name of the server to be displayed in WSDLs etc	No	A valid host name or an IP address

Transport Sender Parameters

The TCP transport sender does not accept any configuration parameters as of now.

To enable the TCP transport for samples, simply open the repository/conf/axis2.xml file in a text editor and add the following transport receiver configuration and sender configuration. TCP transport module is shipped with WSO2 ESB by default.

<transportReceiver name="tcp">
    <parameter name="transport.tcp.port">6060</parameter>
</transportReceiver>

<transportSender name="tcp"/>

If you wish to use the sample Axis2 client to send TCP messages, you have to uncomment the TCP transport sender configuration in the following file:

samples/axis2Client/client_repo/conf/axis2.xml
