-----
    <properties name="interceptors">
        <property name="org.jboss.soa.esb.pipeline.failure.interceptors" value="org.jboss.soa.esb.listeners.message.GenericPipelineInterceptor"/>
        <property name="org.jboss.soa.esb.pipeline.instantiate.interceptors" value="org.jboss.soa.esb.listeners.message.GenericPipelineInterceptor"/>
        <property name="org.jboss.soa.esb.pipeline.start.interceptors" value="org.jboss.soa.esb.listeners.message.GenericPipelineInterceptor"/>
        <property name="org.jboss.soa.esb.pipeline.end.interceptors" value="org.jboss.soa.esb.listeners.message.GenericPipelineInterceptor"/>
    </properties>
