Using String(json) instead of object as body type:

[Robert Dare <ro...@gmail.com>]

How does one go about using character/text  body types instead of
object in Camel routes?  Is it as simple as just setting a string in
the producer template?

The ActiveMQ docs indicate that object body types are lowest performance.

Thank you.

Do I need to register a BodyTypeConverter to do this?

Can you provide a bit more details what you want to do? It sounds as
if you want to route messages from Camel to a ActiveMQ queue.
And that you want to use a javax.jms.TextMessage as the JMS message type?

The Camel JMS endpoint has an option to control that, its the
jmsMessageType option. You can read about it here:
http://camel.apache.org/jms

Here is an example:
.to("activemq:queue:foo?jmsMessageType=Text")


And yes you can also convert the message body to a String type
beforehand as well using the Type Converters
http://camel.apache.org/type-converter.html

.convertBodyTo(String.class)
.to("activemq:queue:foo")

Also there is data format that can convert between types
http://camel.apache.org/data-format
