Description

In a route builder, we have a log definition:

from("direct:testSimple")
.log("${body.toString}");

The body contains an object, that implements a public toString() method. But the problem is, that the simple-expression does not find the method toString() and route processing stops without throwing an exception.

The funny thing is, that when we just rename the method, e.g. toInfoString(), then it works:
from("direct:testSimple")
.log("${body.toInfoString}");

Why does simple expression have a problem with a method named "toString"?
