Per Willem's advice [1] I have attempted to bring in the CxfPayloadConverter from 2.7-SNAPSHOT [2] so that I can make the following Camel route work:
<osgi:camelContext xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring";> <route> <from uri="file:/tmp/tsc-input"/> <to uri="cxf:bean:outEndpoint?dataFormat=PAYLOAD"/> </route> </osgi:camelContext> I am able to build and deploy the converter just fine within my osgi bundle. However, I've run into a problem whereby the body on the converted message is empty. I know this because I am routing the outbound message through tcpmon, and it just has a <soap:Body/> element where the body should be: Content-Type: text/xml; charset=UTF-8 SOAPAction: "http://it.ojp.gov/GlobalJRA/TSCEI/0.9.4/ws/SendEncounter"; Accept: */* User-Agent: Apache CXF 2.3.2-fuse-00-00 Cache-Control: no-cache Pragma: no-cache Host: 127.0.0.1:18081 Connection: keep-alive Content-Length: 98 <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";><soap:Body/></soap:Envelope> To try to identify the problem, I have reduced the converter down to a single method (see attached, method genericFileToCxfPayload(...)). The code is running, and when I set the log level to debug, I see the full body in the debug messages. So I am confident the payload object being returned has a proper body...it's just getting lost somewhere before the message hits the wire. How could that happen? Oddly enough, I discovered that not only was the GenericFile -> CxfPayload converter called, but it is also wanting to convert from CxfPayload -> String. I can't imagine why this is the case. I do have another OSGi bundle, with a camel route, deployed in this same instance of servicemix, and that bundle's route does go from CxfPayload -> String. But it is in a separate bundle, so my assumption would be that the type converter class would not be accessible. Is that assumption incorrect? In any case, the debug message in the CxfPayloadToString method in the attached does get called, and the payload.getBody() call there returns null. Thanks for any advice. --Scott [1] http://www.mail-archive.com/users@camel.apache.org/msg13115.html [2] https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/camel/trunk/components/camel-cxf/src/main/java/org/apache/camel/component/cxf/converter/CxfPayloadConverter.java
