Description

See nabble
http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/Bean-instance-is-null-OGNL-bean-expressions-requires-bean-instances-tp5778338.html

In the code we say

            // loop and invoke each method
            Object beanToCall = beanHolder.getBean();
            // there must be a bean to call with, we currently does not support OGNL expressions on using purely static methods
            if (beanToCall == null) {
                throw new IllegalArgumentException("Bean instance is null. OGNL bean expressions requires bean instances.");
            }
