Partner Link Configuration for Undescribed Header Support

Undescribed headers are SOAP headers may appear in the SOAP message but are not part of the WSDL binding description. For Operation Input, as these headers are not part of the binding, they must be mapped to the SOAP message from a context object. For Operation Outputs, as these headers are not part of the WSDL message, their content must be mapped into a context object to make it available to the invoking process.

For a Partner Link Configuration, all defined headers are compulsorily undescribed because the described headers are defined in the concrete WSDL by the Service provider.

Undescribed headers are available for configuration only on SOAP endpoints.
