Hi, I have the following camel route (defined in blueprint)
In the method "createXML(Exchange exchange)", I create a Document (org.w3c.dom.Document) and set it as a exchange Body as follows: exchange.getIn().setBody(doc); Accessing the Document element in the subsequent method "printXML(Exchange exchange)" via Document xmlDoc = (Document) exchange.getIn().getBody(); does not work as I get the exception "java.lang.AbstractMethodError" as soon as I drop a file in the dropBox. But if I change the method signature to "printXML(@Body Document xmlDoc)" I can retrieve the Document element without any issues. My question would be, 1. what is the difference, retrieving the Body via annotation (@Body) and via "exchange.getIn().getBody()" 2. If I use @Body annotation, how can access the 'exchange' inside 'printXML' as I need to set the body of the outgoing message. Please share your comments. regards, -- View this message in context: http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/Bean-binding-Body-and-Exchange-tp5715529.html Sent from the Camel - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
