Dye357 created CAMEL-9756:
-----------------------------

             Summary: It would be great if Objects returned by language expressions could be set as the body on an Exchange without using the LanguageProducer
                 Key: CAMEL-9756
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-9756
             Project: Camel
          Issue Type: Wish
          Components: camel-script
    Affects Versions: 2.16.0
            Reporter: Dye357
            Priority: Minor


Scenario:

I would like to manipulate a file on the exchange with groovy.

However:

ScriptProcessor.java states:
 * A processor which executes the script as an expression and does not change the message body. * In this case GroovyExpression is instantiated and an Object is returned but the returned object is ignored by obvious design.

In order to successfully manipulate a file on the exchange using groovy the only way I have found is to explicitly declare the uri: language:groovy:file:/<pathToScript> in a <to> block. This leverages the languageProducer.java class which assigns the returned object from GroovyExpression.java as the body on the Exchange.

My question(s) are:
1. Why does Script Processor intentionally not assign the result from GroovyExpression.java to the body?
2. What is the best way in Camel to evaluate a groovy script and assign what is returned from the groovy script to the body on the exchange (In my case a java.io.File Object)?
3. Why does ProcessorDefintion.java not expose Language?

My objection using the URI I provided above is that I am programatically generating my camel XML and embedding groovy script with multiple lines in a URI is somewhat fragile & loading the groovyscript from a file is not practical for my use case. 

Thanks!!
