Answer 1

Finally i succeeded in reading the soap header from request and append into response. This is how my end point method looks like now:

 @PayloadRoot(localPart = REQUEST_LOCAL_NAME, namespace = NAMESPACE_URI)
    @ResponsePayload
    public GetOrderNumberResponse processOrderNumberRequest(
            @RequestPayload GetOrderNumberRequest request,
            MessageContext messageContext) throws Exception {
        logger.info("Request Received");
        // read SOAP Header from request and append in response
        SaajSoapMessage soapRequest = (SaajSoapMessage) messageContext
                .getRequest();
        SoapHeader reqheader = soapRequest.getSoapHeader();
        SaajSoapMessage soapResponse = (SaajSoapMessage) messageContext
                .getResponse();
        SoapHeader respheader = soapResponse.getSoapHeader();
        TransformerFactory transformerFactory = TransformerFactory
                .newInstance();
        Transformer transformer = transformerFactory.newTransformer();
        Iterator itr = reqheader.examineAllHeaderElements();
        while (itr.hasNext()) {
            SoapHeaderElement ele = itr.next();
            transformer.transform(ele.getSource(), respheader.getResult());
        }
        // process the request PayLoad
        GetOrderNumberResponse response = null;
        try {
            response = getOrderNumberService.executeRequest(request);
        } catch (CannotCreateTransactionException e) {
            logger.error(ErrorConstants.ERROR_E17);
            throw new ServiceException(ErrorConstants.ERROR_E17);
        }
        logger.info("Response Sent");
        return response;
    }
