Hi, There is a FallbackTypeConverter[1] will help you do this kind of job of the message body's class is annotated with JAXB annotations. If you put the camel-jaxb into your class path, this fallback type converter will be used by default.
If you don't want to use it , you need to convert the message body yourself before the fallback type converter get to work :) [1]https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/camel/trunk/components/camel-jaxb/src/main/java/org/apache/camel/converter/jaxb/FallbackTypeConverter.java Willem Leonard Axelsson wrote: > > Hi, > > At my current gig we have a route roughly like the one below where we send > in objects using the ProducerTemplate.
