I'm using JBoss SOA-P 5.3 and attempting to setup a Camel JPA gateway.  I pulled the camel-jpa-2.4.0.jar from FuseSource (http://repo.fusesource.com/maven2-legacy/org/apache/camel/camel-jpa/2.4.0-fuse-00-00/) since it doesn't come with SOA-P.  I have everything setup to where it polls the database, pulls in the record, and kicks off the action pipeline.  The weird behavior I'm seeing is that it says the message contents are an Order object (i.e. reference to the object) but it says its class is a String.  When I override the toString method on my object, the output shows that it is an Order.  When I try to cast the object to my Order object though I get the ClassCastException.  Any thoughts on why I can't cast the message body contents to my Order object?

Below are the log outputs showing this disconnect (first one is w/o toString overridden and the second one is w/ toString overriden).

Here is the Action class that processes the message.

@Process
public void process(Message message) {
     log.info("Processing Message");
     log.info("Message Properties: " + message.getProperties());
     log.info("Message Body: " + message.getBody());
     log.info("Object: " + message.getBody().get(Body.DEFAULT_LOCATION));
     log.info("Object Class: " + message.getBody().get(Body.DEFAULT_LOCATION).getClass());
     Order order = (Order) message.getBody().get();
} 

Here is the jboss-esb.xml for the service.
