Hi If you are using the DeadLetterChannel in Camel it does in fact - remove the exception: exchange.setException(null) - but its stored elsewhere: exchange.setProperty(FAILURE_HANDLED_PROPERTY, exchange.getException()); See the source code for DLC.
So you should be able to get the original caused exception even while handling the failure in your own processor code. We should probably support an easier way to get this information. Somekind of method on the exchange. Please feel free to create a ticket for this. Somekind of public API method on Exchange to get this information: - is this exchange currently being failure handled - what was the original cause of this failure You can also do the per exception route: // regular deadletterchannel here exception(MySuperDuperException.class).to("bean:handleMySuperDuperException); exception(MyCoolException.class).to("bean:handleMyCoolException); // and then the regular routing stuff here Med venlig hilsen Claus Ibsen ......................................

I want to check for message exceptions such as transformation or database errors processing incoming messages. My initial thought was to process them as deadletters and that works but I have no way of knowing what error message that actually occurred and no way to take that error message and add it to the header so the original message is not modified. So what else can I do here? I could just wrap every block in a try/catch, then if I catch and error, and the error to the header, change the destination, and rout to the dynamic recipientList right? -- --- Thank You...
