okay thanks. My main concern is that I am defining my route properly. At the moment I am only defining my route to the item entity and I was thinking maybe because I had not specified the other entities it was using null or something like that.
So it seems like from the response my problem is not my route but more a problem with how I have configured JPA. I will take a look at my JPA definitions and post my resolution... assuming I find it. thanks again for your help. -- View this message in context: http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/How-to-write-a-type-converter-tp5741592p5741711.html Sent from the Camel - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
