Switchyard and Camel Transparent Proxy doesn't propagate SOAP header

Question

I'm trying to create a transparent proxy with Switchyard. The idea is having a "promoted" service exposed by Switchyard. Calls to this webservice will be redirected with Camel to a service reference. Service reference (proxified service) and promoted service have the same WSDL.

The problem is that the SOAP calls that the user does contains a custom token in the SOAP Envelope Header that it is NOT propagated. How can I solve that?

SOAP Call Example (User->Propagated Service):

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ser="http://service.test/">
   <soapenv:Header>
   <token>foo</token>
   </soapenv:Header>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <ser:readSomethings>
         <something>
         </something>
      </ser:readSomethings>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

SOAP Call that Switchyard does to the "proxified" service (It doesn't contain the token!!):

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV=\"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/\">
   <SOAP-ENV:Header/>
   <SOAP-ENV:Body>
     <ser:readSomethings xmlns:ser=\"http://service.test/\">
       <something></something>
     </ser:readSomethings>
   </SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

                }
            }
        };
      // Define routing rules here:
      from("switchyard://ProxyService").process(myProc).to("switchyard://ProxifiedService");
    }
}

The header was not propagated because it didn't have a namespace.
