I'm not sure that would work. As I stated in my original post, I don't want to send the entire message to the error queue, just the portion that was invalid. So, if my original message has, say, 11 readings, and 3 of them are bad, I only want to send the 3 bad ones to the error queue. During processing, I stick the bad readings into an "error object". It's the contents of this object (that I can easily marshal to XML) that I want to send to the queue.
FYI, here is a simplified version of my route: from("jetty:http://0.0.0.0:8282/process").convertBodyTo(String.class) .inOnly("jms:queue:data.inbound") .unmarshal(jaxbDf) .beanRef("dataProcessor", "process") Allen Lau-2 wrote: > > How about just setting a header when you are done processing and there is > an > error? > > Then in your route, just send any message to the error queue when the > header > is detected. > > On Tue, Mar 23, 2010 at 11:57 AM, jfaath <jfa...@apache.org> wrote: > >> >> I'm looking for some advice on how to deal with errors during a large >> processing task.
