CAMEL-11948 NPE on DefaultMessage setBody if deprecated constructor was used After upgrade camel 2.20.0, some operations fail with a NullPointerException: ``` Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.camel.impl.MessageSupport.setBody(MessageSupport.java:122) ``` The issue seems to be introduced with the change CAMEL-11380. The issue could be easily reproduced by using the deprecated constructor, where no camelContext is set: ``` Message message = new DefaultMessage(); message.setBody("something"); ``` To remain better backward compatibility, i would suggest a nullcheck in the setBody for cases where the CamelContext is not set.
