The pipeline definition for a service provider

The message handlers are defined in an XML document, which is stored in the HFS. The name of the file that contains the document is specified in the CFGFILE attribute of a PIPELINE definition.

The root element of the pipeline configuration document is the <provider_pipeline> element. The high-level structure of the document is shown in Figure 1.
