Hi Ticket: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-21949
In Camel 4.12 we have an improvement in the type converters that makes it possible to use customer converters that have been marked to allowNull=true to be a positive answer even for mandatory conversion and in general. It's a rare use-case to allow a conversion to be null, so it's seldom in use, but it was the supported condition for Camel v2 and somewhere on the way in v3 we optimized the core and lost this ability. And we have a few converters in some Camel components that allowed null but this would not have worked to well if a null value was returned, this will also be fixed with this change. This PR adds this capability again https://github.com/apache/camel/pull/17719 Just wanted a heads-up in case you notice something odd starting to happen. -- Claus Ibsen ----------------- @davsclaus Camel in Action 2: https://www.manning.com/ibsen2
