Creating implicit SOAP headers for inbound web service integrations

SOAP headers are used to communicate application-specific context information within SOAP request and response messages. This context information can be anything that you must send along with the web service operation parameters. An implicit SOAP header is one that is not defined in the web service WSDL document. In an inbound web service integration, you can retrieve SOAP headers from an incoming request message and include SOAP headers in the outgoing response message.
