>          Components: camel-core

> He wants to transform the body to a StringSource, and does it directly
> {code} 
> private Object value;
> public Object transform(Object notUsed) {
>   return new StringSource(body);
> }
> {code}
> We could add an @TypeConverter annotation, so you can let Camel handle it better
> {code}
> private Object value;
>  
> public StringSource transform(Object notUsed, @TypeConverter TypeConverter converter) {
>   return converter.convertTo(StringSource.class, value);
> }
> {code}
> This allows you to get easily access to Camels type converter feature, instead of dealing with it yourself and maybe need to import extra classes and deal with exception handling and such.
> And btw I think StringSource should be moved to org.apache.camel so it does not reside in the subpackage: org.apache.camel.converter.jaxp.StringSource
