A system and method for expanding the capabilities of a SOAP envelope to include information useful for processing messages between a requestor and provider is disclosed. The message structure defines seven standard header blocks; each defined to provide data specific to a common infrastructure capability of an enterprise messaging infrastructure. Additionally, standard header blocks are included within a message envelope to preserve data when a transformation occurs such as, for example, alternating between transport protocols or converting the message language.
