Description of problem: The description of the interceptors stack is inadequate. Please enhance it by doing the following: - use the description (and illustration) at [1] as an example. Maybe even copy it outright. - give the full classname for the LocalRegistryInterceptor, the user will need it to configure it. (org.jboss.internal.soa.esb.services.registry.LocalRegistryInterceptor) - explain the downside to using the LocalRegistryInterceptor: It will result in the local node always using it's own version of a Service if it has one. (If it does not, it will look further for it). This will cause load balancing to stop for that Service-- the single node will try to do all the work itself. It has the upside of a more direct path to execution for services (does not go to the registry and then on to another machine) and reduces calls to the registry. Please follow up with ESB Engineering for validation/more details. Kevin Conner would be the definitive source. [1] http://docs.jboss.org/jbossesb/docs/4.9/manuals/html/Services_Guide/index.html
