Problem conclusion

• When acting as a terminal handler DFHPISN has been changed
  so that, if container DFH-EXIT-HEADER1 is present after
  returning from the application handler and it contains character
  data, the container's contents will be added to the header
  section of the SOAP response.  This enables the XWSPRRWO global
  user exit to add a SOAP header to the response message if
  needed.
  
  The CICS Transaction Server fox z/OS, Version 4 Release 1,
  Web Services Guide manual, SC34702000, Chapter 7 Creating the
  Web services infrastructure has been altered to have the
  following new container added to the Context containers
  subsection:
  
  DFH-EXIT-HEADER1 container
  DFH-EXIT-HEADER1 is a container of DATATYPE(CHAR). It contains
  one or more SOAP headers that are added to a response from a Web
  service provider application in CICS.
  
  Programs running global user exit XWSPRRWO can add a header to a
  SOAP response. The header must be valid SOAP and the name spaces
  must be self-contained in the header XML. A program that puts
  data in this container must check for its presence and add the
  new header to the end of the data. By following this best
  practice, multiple programs can be driven at the same exit point
  if required.
  
  The CICS Transaction Server fox z/OS, Version 4 Release 1,
  Customization Guide manual, SC34700100, Chapter 1 Global user
  exit programs, section Pipeline domain exits, subsection
  Exit XWSPRRWO has been altered to have the following new
  sentence added to the second paragraph after the 1st sentence:
  
  For example, you can add additional SOAP headers to an outbound
  SOAP response.
