[jira] [Commented] (CAMEL-9756) It would be great if Objects returned by language expressions could be set as the body on an Exchange without using the LanguageProducer

Claus Ibsen commented on CAMEL-9756:
------------------------------------

You can use the language component
http://camel.apache.org/language

And call your groovy script and set that as response on the body.

Or do a message transformation and call groovy there
http://camel.apache.org/message-translator.html

>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-9756
>             Project: Camel
>          Issue Type: Wish
>          Components: camel-script
>    Affects Versions: 2.16.0
>            Reporter: Dye357
>            Priority: Minor
>
> Scenario:
> I would like to manipulate a file on the exchange with groovy.
> However:
> ScriptProcessor.java states:
>  * A processor which executes the script as an expression and does not change the message body. * In this case GroovyExpression is instantiated and an Object is returned but the returned object is ignored by obvious design.
> In order to successfully manipulate a file on the exchange using groovy the only way I have found is to explicitly declare the uri: language:groovy:file:/<pathToScript> in a <to> block. This leverages the languageProducer.java class which assigns the returned object from GroovyExpression.java as the body on the Exchange.
> My question(s) are:
> 1. Why does Script Processor intentionally not assign the result from GroovyExpression.java to the body?
> 2. What is the best way in Camel to evaluate a groovy script and assign what is returned from the groovy script to the body on the exchange (In my case a java.io.File Object)?
> 3. Why does ProcessorDefintion.java not expose Language?
> My objection using the URI I provided above is that I am programatically generating my camel XML and embedding groovy script with multiple lines in a URI is somewhat fragile & loading the groovyscript from a file is not practical for my use case. 
> Thanks!!
