Configuring a global error handler for camel?
apache-camel
Solution
Create an abstract base class and define your global error handler in the configure method. And then in your route classes extend this base class, and in their configure method call super.configure() first.
Problem
I'm trying to configure an exception handler for all exceptions thrown by all routes in my camel context. My approach is the following, with no luck: - Instantiate a default camel context - Retrieve a list of RouteDefinition from a spring context - Add these definitions to the camel context by calling ctx.addRouteDefinitions() - Add my exception handler route from a java dsl defined RotueBuilder (ctx.addRoutes(new MyErrorHandlerRouteBuilder()) - Start the camel context At this point, exceptions thrown inside the routes defined in spring are handled by the DefaultErrorHandler, not the one I'm trying to define. Here's what my error handling route definition looks like ``` public class MyErrorHandlerRouteBuilder extends RouteBuilder { @Override public void configure() throws Exception { onException(Exception.class) .routeId("errorHandlerRoute") .handled(true) .process(new Processor() { @Override public void process(Exchange exchange) throws Exception { Throwable caused = exchange.getProperty(Exchange.EXCEPTION_CAUGHT, Throwable.class); // do some custom processing of the exception } }) .stop(); } ``` What else can I try, or where am I going wrong?
