In a fuse-karaf-7.0.1.fuse-000011-redhat-3 fresh installation : Install camel-jetty and camel-cxf features. Build the consumer and the producer attached projects. Put the "consumer-1.0.0.jar" and "producer-1.0.0.jar" artifacts in the deploy folder. Try to send a request to http://localhost:8888/example with the following body: <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:per="http://example.com/Person/"> <soapenv:Header/> <soapenv:Body> <per:NewOperation> <person> <name>a</name> <document>a</document> </person> </per:NewOperation> </soapenv:Body> </soapenv:Envelope> Note: If the restlet endpoint is changed to a jetty component, the route works as expected (the consumer receive the correct body)
