             Summary: Improve FAQ: Why is the exception null when I use 
onException?
                 Key: CAMEL-15020
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-15020
             Project: Camel
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: documentation
            Reporter: Thomas Küstermann


The FAQ article [Why is the exception null when I use 
onException?|https://camel.apache.org/manual/latest/faq/why-is-the-exception-null-when-i-use-onexception.html]
 states that {{exchange.getException()}} returns {{null}} if {{onException()}} 
is used in conjunction with {{handled(true)}}.

Whether it's handled or not, {{exchange.getException()}} return always {{null}} 
since the default error handling mechanism clears the exception already:

{code:java|title=RedeliveryErrorHandler.deliverToFailureProcessor() - Camel 
2.25.0}
// we did not success with the redelivery so now we let the failure processor 
handle it
// clear exception as we let the failure processor handle it
exchange.setException(null);
{code}

I'm fairly new too Camel error handling, it would've been helpful in advance to 
know it.
