Camel Processor not setting headers - apache-camel

Question

I am not able to inject/modify headers in a processor using the below spring DSL config. Could you please help in figuring out what I am doing wrong?
<routeContext xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring"
id="routes1">
<route id="sdPoll" de:name="Polling"
de:systemName="Polling" streamCache="true">
<from uri="timer://sdPoll?fixedRate=true&period=60000" />
<process ref="refProcessor" />
<to uri="http://dummyhost" />
<to uri="log:DEBUG?showBody=true&showHeaders=true" />
</route>
</routeContext>
<bean id="refProcessor"
class="com.abc.de.RefProcessor" />
Processor class
public class RefProcessor implements Processor {
private final Logger log = Logger.getLogger(RefProcessor.class);
#SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
#Override
public void process(Exchange exchange) throws Exception {
exchange.getIn().setHeader("Authorization", "TODO");
exchange.getIn().setHeader("CamelHttpMethod", "POST");
exchange.getIn().setHeader("CamelHttpUri", "http://localhost:8280/api/check");
exchange.getIn().setHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
exchange.getIn().setHeader("Accept", "application/json");
exchange.getIn().setBody("TODO");
//exchange.getOut().setHeaders(exchange.getIn().getHeaders());
//exchange.getOut().setHeader("Authorization", "TODO");
//exchange.getOut().setBody("TODO");
}
}

Java DSL seem to work though! So what is wrong with my Spring DSL config
static RouteBuilder createRouteBuilder3() {
return new RouteBuilder() {
public void configure() {
from("timer://timer1?period=60000").process(new Processor() {
public void process(Exchange exchange) throws UnsupportedEncodingException {
exchange.getIn().setHeader("CamelHttpMethod", "POST");
exchange.getIn().setHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
exchange.getIn().setHeader("Accept", "application/json");
exchange.getIn().setHeader("CamelHttpUri",
"http://localhost:8280/api/check");
exchange.getIn().setHeader("Authorization", "TODO");
exchange.getIn().setBody("TODO");
}
}).to("http://dummyhost").to("log:DEBUG?showBody=true&showHeaders=true");
}
};
}

Your Processor looks ok.
Just a wild guess, but do you use routeContext in your XML configuration intentionally? If not, can you try to switch to camelContext?
See http://people.apache.org/~dkulp/camel/configuring-camel.html for the difference between routeContext and camelContext
