Does your generated jaxb class contains a XmlRootElement annotation? I think that we had to include is via xml binding to the generated classes to get it work.
<jaxb:bindings node="//xs:complexType[@name=execution]"> <annox:annotate> <annox:annotate annox:class="javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlRootElement" name="execution"/> </annox:annotate> </jaxb:bindings> Rgds, Jörg -----Original Message----- From: Alex Soto <alex.s...@envieta.com> Sent: Dienstag, 28.

What else does Camel need to properly bind the XML to the Java class? Why is it not parsing the XML correctly? Best regards, Alex soto
