Is there a way of creating an WSDL custom header with the auto-discovery function zend-soap server? Or an other alternative way of managing such a request on the soap server?

I need to process a request coming from an ESB proxy containing a soapenv:header like this one:

```
<soapenv:Header>
         <esb:header>
            <esb:message_type>AddNewOrder</esb:message_type>
            <esb:version>01.80</esb:version>
            <esb:source_entity>xxx</esb:source_entity>
            <esb:source_application>xxx</esb:source_application>
            <esb:destination_entity>xxx</esb:destination_entity>
            <esb:destination_application>TIRE</esb:destination_application><esb:message_id>xxx</esb:message_id><esb:correl_message_id>xxxx</esb:correl_message_id><esb:message_id>X&apos;xxxx&apos;</esb:message_id>
         </esb:header>
</soapenv:Header>
```
