 	then no other attribute related to the listener container configuration should be provided. In other words, by
 	setting this reference, you must take full responsibility of the listener container configuration. The only
 	exception is the MessageListener itself. Since that is actually the core responsibility of this Channel Adapter

+	container must not have a MessageListener defined.
