Hi Don,

Sorry, I think Nabble ate my code snippets because they were enclosed in
xml.  Let me try that again:

The client is:

<bean id="camelRouting"
class="com.wireandwheel.demonstrations.ws.routes.ServerRoutes"/>

    <cxf:rsClient id="wmataBusLineSvc"
address="http://api.wmata.com/Bus.svc/json/jRoutes?api_key=kfgpmgvfgacx98de9q3xazww";

serviceClass="com.wireandwheel.demonstrations.ws.service.RemoteService"
                  loggingFeatureEnabled="true" skipFaultLogging="true">
    </cxf:rsClient>

    <!-- The camel route context -->
    <camel:camelContext xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring";>
        <contextScan/>
        <camel:template id="camelTemplate"/>
        <camel:routeBuilder ref="camelRouting"/>
    </camel:camelContext>



And the route is:

        from("timer:aTimer?fixedRate=true&period=10s")
                .setHeader(Exchange.HTTP_METHOD, constant("GET"))
                .to("cxfrs://bean://wmataBusLineSvc")
                .to("bean:itemRetriever")
                .to("log:com.wireandwheel.demonstrations?level=INFO")
                .process(aProcessor);



I was able to get it working by switching from cxf to http4:

 from("timer:aTimer?fixedRate=true&period=10s")
                .setHeader(Exchange.HTTP_METHOD, constant("GET"))
                .to("http4://
api.wmata.com/Bus.svc/json/jRoutes?api_key=kfgpmgvfgacx98de9q3xazww")
                .unmarshal("json")
                .to("bean:wmataRoutes")
                .to("log:com.wireandwheel.demonstrations?level=INFO")
                .process(aProcessor);
