custom error handler

[Marco Mistroni]

HI all
 i plan to deploy my apache camel app remotely, and i would like to
configure an error handler so that , when an exception happens,
it sends me an email with the exception details.

I have read camel error handling docs, and i guess the best approach for me
would be to use a deadLetterErrorHandler
with  a deadLetterUri="bean:exceptionHandler?method=handleException"

I have this camel config

<camel:camelContext xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring";
        id="camelServer" errorHandlerRef="deadLetterErrorHandler">

        <camel:errorHandler id="deadLetterErrorHandler"
        type="DeadLetterChannel"
deadLetterUri="bean:exceptionHandler?method=handleException"/>

.........

in one of my routes i an explicitly raising a n exception to test the error
handler behaviour..... however it appears that the method handleException
is never
being called....
this is the code of my exceptionHandler Bean

class ExceptionHandler {

    private static final Log LOGGER =
LogFactory.getLog(ExceptionHandler.class);

    public void handleException(Object exception) {
        LOGGER.info("Handling exceptions:" + exception);

    }
}

what am i missing?

or are there any better approaches to configure a custom error handler ? I
am not interested in propagating the exception (as exceptions will happen
only at
endpoints....)


w/kindest regards
