<interceptor-binding>
<ejb-name>OrderedSLSB</ejb-name>
<interceptor-order>
<interceptor-class>org.jboss.ejb3.test.interceptors2.AnnotatedClassInterceptor3</interceptor-class>
<interceptor-class>org.jboss.ejb3.test.interceptors2.XMLClassInterceptor3</interceptor-class>
<interceptor-class>org.jboss.ejb3.test.interceptors2.DefaultInterceptor</interceptor-class>
</interceptor-order>
</interceptor-binding>
