The Gson library will unmarshal an object to specified type if it is provided, otherwise it will return a LinkedHashMap of the objects that it was able to unmarshal. The getBody() in the processor has no direct connection to the previously unmarshaled object the object type must be specified in the unmarshal component.

I will update the stackoverflow once i get the correct explaination.

Would you be able to verify the object type after the unmarshall.? You can do this in your processor by getting the Object on the message without a type (message.getIn().getBody() and checking the type. - Andy -- Andrew Block On October 10, 2015 at 3:46:52 PM, Bhuvan Gupta ([email protected]) wrote: Hello, I setup the camel routes shown below: In stage folder i can see message getting marshal properly into a json. but while un-marshaling on this line body.setA("modified A"); i get a null pointer exception basically body is null.. *Why* ?
