    processing at least a portion of content of a first header from the plurality of headers; and

    based on the processing, annotating a message object with a property representing the processing state for the content of the first header such that other operations can use the property for further processing of the SOAP message, wherein the property representing the processing state for the content of the first header is contained within a properties object that represents a set of processing-level annotations to the message, the properties object added to the SOAP message outside the first header and the properties object comprising a set of name to object mappings, each name to object mapping representing a property representing a processing state for a particular content part of the SOAP message.
