Raul,
Thanks for the suggestion. But unfortunately, it did not help. Camel throws the CamelRuntimeException immediately after (if not part of) the from statement. I do not think the convertBodyTo even had a chance to receive the exchange. So the onException for org.apache.camel.InvalidPayloadException does not get executed. I believe that because this is a CXF Web Services consumer using PAYLOAD format, CXF tries to convert the payload into CxfPayload class, which might assume that the content must be XML. Thanks!

For example: onException(InvalidPayloadException.class) .bean(new MyExceptionBean()); // or process(Processor p) from("cxf:bean:name") .convertBodyTo(Document.class) .to("validator:xmlschema.xsd"); The same can be expressed in XML DSL. Does this help?
