Apache Axis2's local transport implementation is used to make internal service calls and transfer data within the Axis2 instance. The following class implements the sender API:
org.apache.axis2.transport.local.LocalTransportSender
The transport does not have a receiver implementation as of now.
It provides an opportunity for fast in-VM service call.
Note
To use this transport, configure an endpoints with the local:// prefix. For example, to make an in-VM call to the HelloService, use local://HelloService.
Configuring a Local Transport with WSO2 Products
Shown below is how to configure a local transport with any WSO2 Carbon-based product.
1. In the carbon.xml file at location <PRODUCT_HOME>/repository/conf, an endpoint is available as follows by default.
<ServerURL>local://services/</ServerURL>
2. In the axis2.xml file at location <PRODUCT_HOME>/repository/conf/axis2, there is a transport sender named 'local' specified as follows:
<transportSender name="local" class="org.apache.axis2.transport.local.LocalTransportSender"/>
It has to be replaced with the following sender/receiver pair.
<transportReceiver name="local" class="org.wso2.carbon.core.transports.local.CarbonLocalTransportReceiver"/> <transportSender name="local" class="org.wso2.carbon.core.transports.local.CarbonLocalTransportSender"/>
