Claus Ibsen resolved CAMEL-24702.
---------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
> camel-yaml-dsl - say that an expression is expected when a plain value is
> used for handled/continued/retryWhile/correlationExpression (handled: true)

> Key: CAMEL-24702
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-24702
> Project: Camel
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: camel-yaml-dsl
> Reporter: Claus Ibsen
> Assignee: Claus Ibsen
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 4.23.0
>
>
> In the YAML DSL the natural way to write a handled exception clause
> {code}
> - onException:
> exception:
> - java.lang.Exception
> handled: true
> steps:
> - log: "Error: ${exception.message}"
> {code}
> is rejected by camel validate yaml ("/0/onException/handled: boolean found,
> object expected") and by the runtime ("Error starting Camel: Error
> constructing YAML node id:
> org.apache.camel.model.ExpressionSubElementDefinition"). The only accepted
> form is the expression object, handled: {constant: "true"} (or the nested
> constant: "true"), because handled and continued are
> ExpressionSubElementDefinition (a predicate) in the model. Java DSL has both
> handled(boolean) and handled(Predicate); XML has the same expression element.
> Both the schema error and the runtime error are hard to act on: neither says
> "write handled: constant: true". In the AI authoring benchmark on 2026-09-12
> a local model wrote handled: true, got "boolean found, object expected", then
> tried handled: {constant: true}, logException: true, a deadLetterChannel with
> handled: true, and gave up after seven refused writes. Humans write handled:
> true too.
> Suggested improvement, in camel-yaml-dsl:
> * accept a boolean scalar for handled and continued (and the other
> ExpressionSubElementDefinition predicates on onException, such as retryWhile)
> in the deserializer, wrapping it as a constant expression; the same applies
> to the schema generated by GenerateYamlSchemaMojo (a oneOf of boolean and the
> expression object), so tooling keeps the type information;
> * or, if the shorthand is not wanted, make the validator message say what the
> expected form is (for example: "handled: expected an expression, for example
> handled: {constant: true}").
> 4.23.0-SNAPSHOT; reproducer above with a throwException route.
