WSO2 ESB on Carbon 4.2 - Did not find the desired phase 'Transport' while deploying handler 'POXSecurityHandler'

Question

I'm new to WSO2 ESB and would like to try it out for some external integrations. I've installed the WSO2 Carbon 4.2 server and installed the ESB feature 4.8.1. After a restart, I'm getting some errors as below. Any tips or suggestions would be gratefully accepted.

Thanks.

Answer 1

For the second exception -

"org.apache.axis2.phaseresolver.PhaseException: Did not find the desired phase 'Transport' while deploying handler 'POXSecurityHandler'."

This is because the 'Transport' phase is missing in the 'OutFaultFlow' of the axis2.xml. This is a recent addition hence it's missing when you did the feature installation. To fix this issue,

• Search for the OutFaultFlow in the repository/conf/axis2/axis2.xml
• In there, just after the 'Security' phase add the new entry 'Transport' as follows

.

<phase name="Transport"/>

• Restart the server
