Is there a WS- * standard for specifying and distributing a correlation identifier in a SOAP header?

Question

I am looking for a WS- * standard for distributing a correlation identifier (in the form of a UUID) in a SOAP header. My script is related to SOAP / JMS, and I want to put the correlation identifier, which is saved when the message moves through different endpoints. WS Addressing exists where there is a relationship, but it is more related to the original message identifier. If we used WS-Addressing and were consistent, the message chain could be rebuilt across multiple calls. However, I would prefer to have only one correlation identifier.

In past projects, we had the only correlation identifier, but it ended up in the user schema that is in the SOAP header. In any case, I wanted to find out if something was missing in one of the WS- * standards before I define another custom schema in my current project.

Thanks.

Just stumbled upon this old question. Perhaps someone else can take advantage of what I have found so far.
