apache camel bean to servlet - exchange body missing

Question

I am using apache camel with spring and spring dsl . Trying to route from cxfrs bean to a servlet based on a header parameter. below is the camel route configuration

<camelContext xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring">

        <route>
            <from uri="cxfrs://bean://service?bindingStyle=SimpleConsumer" />
            <to uri="log:body?level=INFO" />
            <camel:filter>
                <camel:simple>${in.header.export} == true</camel:simple>
                <setProperty propertyName="exchange">
                <camel:spel>#{exchange}</camel:spel>
                </setProperty>
                <camel:to uri="http://localhost:8080/service/Reports?exchange=${property.exchange}&amp;bridgeEndpoint=true"/>
            </camel:filter>
            <to uri="bean:businessDelegate" />
        </route>

problem is that the JSON payload from the service is not getting transferred to the http servlet . below is the web xml

    <servlet>
        <display-name>ReportServlet</display-name>
        <servlet-name>ReportServlet</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>
            org.springframework.web.context.support.HttpRequestHandlerServlet
        </servlet-class>
    </servlet>

    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>ReportServlet</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/Reports/*</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>          
  <servlet>
    <servlet-name>CXFServlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.apache.cxf.transport.servlet.CXFServlet</servlet-class>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
  </servlet>
  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>CXFServlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>

pls help. How to transfer the exchange body from the initial request to the Servlet? The servlet's http request headers and parameters are empty.

Likely its due to logging the message body which causes an empty body. See this FAQ: http://camel.apache.org/why-is-my-message-body-empty.html
