OSGI - camel spring bean - @Handler (java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.camel.component.bean.MethodInfo$2.evaluate(MethodInfo.java:197))

[Charles Moulliard]

Hi,

When I use the following route :

        <camel:route>
            <camel:from ref="queueClientInEndpoint" />
            <camel:choice>
                <camel:when>
                    <camel:simple>${in.header.messageType} ==
'OINP'</camel:simple>
                    <!-- Call the requestService to save the request -->
                    <camel:bean ref="requestService"/>
                </camel:when>
                ....

    <!-- Request Service  -->
    <osgi:reference id="requestService"
interface="com.xpectis.x3s.platform.service.RequestService" />

    @Handler
    public void createRequest(@Header(value = "messageType") String
messageType, @Body String body, Exchange exchange) {

        // Instantiate the Request class
        Request request = new Request();

        // Add the CSV records to the body field
        request.setMessageContent(body.getBytes());

        // Save the request in the DB
        this.saveRequest(request);

        // add the request object to the exchange
        exchange.getOut().setBody(request);

    }

, camel generates the following error :

Is the problem related to the fact that camel can't find the method where
@handler has been defined ?
