Thanks Willem, that's exactly what I needed. I'm new to Camel and hadn't realized there were multiple ways to do data transformation and had prematurely found and tried to use type conversion.
I found this<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14501119/which-camel-construct-is-suited-for-transforming>thread on SO as well as chapter 3 and esp. table 3.1 in the Camel in Action book were helpful in calling out the different options.
