Hi Claus & Tuomas, I faced a similar problem a couple of weeks ago and came to the following solution:
The exception can be passed to a route in the Consumer like so: public void handleEndpointException(EndpointException ex) { Exchange exchange = getEndpoint().createExchange(); exchange.setException(ex); getProcessor().process(exchange); } The exception can then be handled by an onException clause(): ...route-definition... .onException(EndpointException) .handled(true) .beanRef("someService", "handleEndpointException") .end() And in someService, I have the following method: def handleEndpointException(Exchange ex) { EndpointException caughtException = (EndpointException) ex.getProperty(Exchange.EXCEPTION_CAUGHT); ... } Claus, please tell me if this is foolish!
