Enabling and Disabling Transports

There are many transports available to handle messages in various formats. This page describes how to enable and disable transports in the product.

Enabling Transports

Follow the instructions below to enable transports.

1. Sign in. Enter your user name and password to log on to the Management Console.

2. Click the "Configure" button to access the "Configure" menu.

3. In the "Configure" menu of the Management Console, click on "Transports" to access "Transport Management."

4. The "Transport Management" page lists the available transport listeners and senders. From here, you can enable, disable and configure transport listeners and senders separately, without having to restart the server.

5. Click on the "Enable" link of a certain transport listener/sender.

6. You will be taken to a page, where you can specify configuration parameters for the transport listener or the sender you want to enable. You will notice that all the required fields are already populated with a set of default values. Change the default values to suit the requirements of your deployment.

7. Click on the "Enable" button to enable transport listener/sender.

Note

If any of the dependencies required to enable the transport listener or the sender are missing, the transport will not be enabled and you will be redirected back to the "Transport Management" page. You will notice that the "Enable" option is still available for that particular transport listener or sender, indicating that it has not been enabled. Therefore it is important that you put all the required JARs in the CARBON_HOME/repository/components/dropins directory before attempting to activate a transport listener or a sender.

Disabling Transports

Note

HTTP and HTTPS transports are configured in the axis2.xml and thus are always loaded at the server startup from the axis2.xml. Also HTTP and HTTPS transports cannot be disabled since those transports are required by the Carbon management console and related administrative services. In case of HTTP/HTTPS transport listeners and senders, you will receive a warning dialog indicating that those transports cannot be disabled.

Follow the instructions below to disable transports.

1. Sign in. Enter your user name and password to log on to the Management Console.

2. Click the "Configure" button to access the the "Configure" menu.

3. In the "Configure" menu of the Management Console,click on "Transports" to access "Transport Management."

4. The "Transport Management" page lists the available transport listeners and senders. From here, you can enable, disable and configure transport listeners and senders separately, without having to restart the server.

5. Click on the "Disable" link of a certain transport listener/sender.

6. Confirm your request to disable transport listener/sender in the "WSO2 Carbon" window. Click "Yes."
