Sometimes the order of the Interceptors makes a difference. In the case of the `prepare` Interceptor, ensure that it comes before `validation` on the `interceptor-stack`.

    <interceptor-stack name="myInterceptorStack">
            ...
         <interceptor-ref name="prepare" />
            ...
         <interceptor-ref name="validation" />
            ...
      </interceptor-stack>

| The default stack does place the `prepare` Interceptor before the `validation` Inteceptor.
