Bean Binding - Add annotation @TypeConverter so end users easily can get access to the type converter -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CAMEL-1446 URL: https://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/CAMEL-1446 Project: Apache Camel Issue Type: New Feature Components: camel-core Reporter: Claus Ibsen Fix For: 2.0.0 See this article page 4, listening 6 http://architects.dzone.com/articles/fuse-esb-4-osgi-based?page=0,3 He wants to transform the body to a StringSource, and does it directly {code} public Object transform(Object body) { return new StringSource(body); } {code} We could add an @TypeConverter annotation, so you can let Camel handle it better {code} public StringSource transform(Object body, @TypeConverter TypeConverter converter) { return converter.convertTo(StringSource.class, body); } {code} This allows you to get easily access to Camels type converter feature, instead of dealing with it yourself and maybe need to import extra classes and deal with exception handling and such. And btw I think StringSource should be moved to org.apache.camel so it does not reside in the subpackage: org.apache.camel.converter.jaxp.StringSource -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
