IMS "wsdl first" WebServices: Reduce size of DFSPWSH message header (i.e. @dfs_async_msg_header)

Every web service request and response contains a first segment to transfer meta data, i.e. the @dfs_async_msg_header included DFSPWSH.

The size of this header is fix for every request/response and is more then 5KB, mainly because of large field declarations for target_namespace, service_name, port_name, operation_name.

80% or even more of all our web service requests/responses are very small in respect to the transfered user data. In other words the message header makes up a relevant part of the whole request/response size.

We have an IMS setup based on shared queues. To transfer such a big header in every request/response is expensive (resources/costs/time).

RFE: Find a solution to minimize the size of this meta data message header. (See also corresponding RFE for RDz http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=54533)
