Luca Burgazzoli commented on CAMEL-10548:
-----------------------------------------
Yes an not :-)
Spring says that it can convert from List to String and it is true but then
thing is that Spring can't convert from Person to String as
FallbackObjectToStringConverter can convert POJO if they have a String
constructor or they have a valueOf(String) method. What spring does under the
hoods is looping over the collection and search a converter for the each
element which of course may not be present.
I'm going to submit an issue to Spring but in the meantime I have this hack:
https://github.com/lburgazzoli/apache-camel/commit/daf9c98f5d344d62cf551084dd4edb99e6509c52
Would it be acceptable ?

> The root cause is spring failing to find a converter for Person --> String
> and as the SpringTypeConverter registered by camel-spring-boot is one of the
> fallback converters used by BaseTypeConverterRegistry, it leads Camel to fail
> too.
> As today is a Camel TypeConverter fails with an exception while looping over
> fallback converters, the loops ends and the conversion fails too. It may turn
> out that the bug is caused by the way camel uses Spring's type converters but
> it may be good to catch exceptions and try the next converter, [~davsclaus]
> make sense ?
> A workaround is to create a custom converter for the class:
> {code:java}
> @Component
> public class PersonConverter implements Converter<Person, String> {
> @Override
> public String convert(Person source) {
> return source.toString();
> }
> }
> {code}
