Mule - Using Salesforce Connector with a Spring Component - spring

Question

I'm using mule standalone 3.4. I am trying to create a flow using the Salesforce connector to perform a query operation and then pass the payload to a spring component. The result is the component doesn't get called.
<flow name="sfcdContact" doc:name="sfcdContact">
<quartz:inbound-endpoint repeatInterval="2000"
startDelay="3000"
jobName="sfcdContact">
<quartz:event-generator-job/>
</quartz:inbound-endpoint>
<sfdc:query config-ref="Salesforce"
query="${salesforce.query.contact}"
doc:name="sfcdContactQuery"/>
<component>
<spring-object bean="salesForceConsumer"/>
</component>
<catch-exception-strategy doc:name="Catch Exception Strategy">
<flow-ref name="ErrorHandling"/>
</catch-exception-strategy>
</flow>
If I remove the sfdc portion from the flow, the spring component is successfully invoked. If I remove the component portion from the flow and replace it with:
<logger message="\#\#\# query operation payload \#[payload]" level="INFO" doc:name="Logger"/>
The results are successfully entered into the log. So it seems the pieces work correctly individually.
I have the logs set to debug, and no errors are reported.
Here's the Java code:
public class SalesForceConsumer {
public Object consume(#Payload Object payload) throws Exception {
System.out.println("SalesForceConsumer::consume called");
return payload;
}
}
I also tried modifying the signature to:
public Object consume(#Payload HashMap<String,Object> payload)
Which is what the doc indicates is returned from the connector.
Is there any reason why the Salesforce connector can't be combined with a bean, or do I have it configured incorrectly? Thank-you.

I ran your code on Mule EE 3.4 and it worked just fine.
The console output:
INFO 2015-03-26 18:37:51,903 org.mule.api.processor.LoggerMessageProcessor: \#\#\# query operation payload \[{FirstName=Test, Id=null, type=Contact}]
SalesForceConsumer::consume called
The flow:
<spring:beans>
<spring:bean id="salesForceConsumer" name="salesForceConsumer" class="com.acme.util.SalesForceConsumer"/>
</spring:beans>
<sfdc:config name="Salesforce" username="XXXX" password="XXXX" securityToken="XXXX" url="https://login.salesforce.com/services/Soap/u/28.0" doc:name="Salesforce">
<sfdc:connection-pooling-profile initialisationPolicy="INITIALISE_ONE" exhaustedAction="WHEN_EXHAUSTED_GROW"/>
</sfdc:config>
<flow name="sfcdContact" doc:name="sfcdContact">
<quartz:inbound-endpoint repeatInterval="2000" startDelay="3000" jobName="sfcdContact">
<quartz:event-generator-job/>
</quartz:inbound-endpoint>
<sfdc:query config-ref="Salesforce" query="select FirstName from Contact" doc:name="sfcdContactQuery"/>
<logger message="\#\#\# query operation payload \#[payload]" level="INFO" doc:name="Logger"/>
<component>
<spring-object bean="salesForceConsumer"/>
</component>
</flow>
