Hi Christian, I think it's expected as you use a global onException handler.
So to not have the recursion problem, you should do something like: from("direct:test") .onException(Throwable.class) .to("direct:handle_er") .end() .throwException(new RuntimeException()) .to("log:test2"); from("direct:handle_er") .throwException(new RuntimeException()); On Thu, May 4, 2017 at 5:30 PM Christian Schneider <ch...@die-schneider.net> wrote: > I have the routes below.
