Problems with convertBodyTo in Java DSL

[LavanyaKC <ck...@progress.com>]

I am having a problem using the below code:

from("file:///file.txt").splitter(expression).convertBodyTo(String.class).to("file://result.txt")

This does not work, the reason being the convertBodyTo method of
ProcessorType class returns convertBodyTo[null] though I have set the value
to String.class. However the following works:

SplitterType splitter = from("file:///file.txt").splitter(expression);
splitter.addOutput(new ConvertBodyType("java.lang.String"));
splitter.to("file://result.txt");

Did anyone come across such problem? It would be nice if a
convertBodyTo(String) method is exposed in ProcessorType.

Thanks,
Lavanya.

The below rule should work, it does the same thing as your second rule does.
from("file:///file.txt").splitter(expression).convertBodyTo(String.class).to("file://result.txt")
I just dug the code of ConvertBodyType, found there is an issue of this
type's toString method, it will not reflect your setting of TypeClass.

I created a JIRA[1] ticked for it.

BTW, I will add a convertBodyTo(String) mehtod as you suggested.
