how does camel handle runtime exceptions?

[Davis Ford <df...@axeda.com>]

Hi, just curious how would camel handle a runtime exception in this routing example:

from("jms:someQueue").beanRef("someBean", "doSomething");

If bean#doSomething() throws a RuntimeException?  Is the exception just logged and swallowed?  I'm mainly just interested in understanding if it will affect future processing of messages that show up on the queue.

Hi

You can read about error handling here
http://camel.apache.org/error-handling-in-camel.html

The exception will by default be propagated back to the consumer.
So in this case the JMS consumer. And it will by default log the exception.

You can enable JMS transaction and thus have the JMS consumer to
rollback the TX.
And have the message redelivered.

For that you need TX
