## Detailed Description

phase is a logical unit of execution in the Axis2 engine's execution flows. A phase encapsulates one or more handlers in a given sequence to be invoked. The sequencing of handlers within a phase are often defined by module configuration which specifies where in the phase's handler chain a given handler should be placed. Calling invoke on phase triggers invoke on the handlers stored within the phase in the sequence they are ordered.

## Define Documentation

#define AXIS2_PHASE_AFTER 2

A given handler's location within the list of handlers is after another given handler.

#define AXIS2_PHASE_ANYWHERE 3

A given handler's location within the list of handlers could be anywhere in the list.

#define AXIS2_PHASE_BEFORE 1

A given handler's location within the list of handlers is before another given handler.

#define AXIS2_PHASE_BOTH_BEFORE_AFTER 0

A given handler's location within the list of handlers is before a particular handler and after another particular handler.
