--------------------------------------------------------------

Just because it says handled(true) does not imply that when you dont do this that its not null. But I agree it can be confusing so lets update the FAQ.

Thanks for reporting.

> 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.
