Description

When sending a restlet GET request, the body should not be looked at at all.

Currently In my exchange i have a java object in the body, and i send a restlet GET request, i expect the restlet response to replace whatever is in the body. But i get a type conversion error because it is trying to stringify the java object before sending the get request.

I think the body should only be used in PUT and POST request.

Here is the fix in org.apache.camel.component.restlet.DefaultRestletBinding.java line 151:

public void populateRestletRequestFromExchange(Request request, Exchange exchange) {
request.setReferrerRef("camel-restlet");
String body = null;
if(request.getMethod() == Method.POST || request.getMethod() == Method.PUT)

{ body = exchange.getIn().getBody(String.class); }

Form form = new Form();
// add the body as the key in the form with null value
form.add(body, null);
