This is what I have done but unfortunately, Exchange is a required parameter in both methods of DataFormat ( http://camel.apache.org/maven/camel-core/apidocs/org/apache/camel/model/dataformat/DataFormatType.html ):
void *marshal<http://camel.apache.org/maven/camel-core/apidocs/org/apache/camel/model/dataformat/DataFormatType.html#marshal%28org.apache.camel.Exchange,%20java.lang.Object,%20java.io.OutputStream%29> *(Exchange<http://camel.apache.org/maven/camel-core/apidocs/org/apache/camel/Exchange.html> exchange, Object<http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/Object.html?is-external=true> graph, OutputStream<http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/io/OutputStream.html?is-external=true> stream) Marshals the object to the given Stream. Object<http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/Object.html?is-external=true> *unmarshal<http://camel.apache.org/maven/camel-core/apidocs/org/apache/camel/model/dataformat/DataFormatType.html#unmarshal%28org.apache.camel.Exchange,%20java.io.InputStream%29> *(Exchange<http://camel.apache.org/maven/camel-core/apidocs/org/apache/camel/Exchange.html> exchange, InputStream<http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/io/InputStream.html?is-external=true> stream) Unmarshals the given stream into an object.
