Have you tried using the Jackson library instead of Xstream? There is Jackson support in camel greater than 2.0 (http://camel.apache.org/json.html). I haven't used the Camel Jackson component but if it works anything like the regular jackson libraries it should be straight forward with no annotations/config for most POJOs. Alternatively, you could just serialize your POJOs to JSON using the Jackson Library (http://jackson.codehaus.org/) and a custom processor bean. And while you are looking at serialization you might want to check out how the different serializers perform: https://github.com/eishay/jvm-serializers/wiki/.
