Description

When a REST service returns an HTTP error code (e.g. 404) with some content in the response body, this body is not correctly copied into the exception.
This results e.g. in ${exception.responseBody} having a value like "org.restlet.data.Response@17bf0a7" in the following route fragment :

<doTry>
<to uri="restlet:http://my.service.com/ws/

{id}

"/>
<doCatch>
<exception>org.apache.camel.CamelException</exception>
<log message="body is : ${exception.responseBody}"/>
</doCatch>
</doTry>

The problem is probably due to the statement (class org.apache.camel.component.restlet.RestletProducer, method populateRestletProducerException) :

   String copy = response.toString();

that should be instead something like :

   String copy = null;
   if (response.getEntity() != null) {
       // get content text
       copy = response.getEntity().getText();
   }
