Page Edited : CAMEL : Try Catch Finally Try Catch Finally has been edited by Claus Ibsen (Apr 20, 2009). (View changes) Content: Try ... Catch ... Finally Camel supports the Java equivalent of try .. catch and finally directly in the DSL. It aims to work like its Java sisters but with more power. Especially in Camel 2.0 where we gave this feature an overhaul. In Camel we prefix the keywords with do to avoid having same keyword as Java. So we have: doTry doCatch doFinally end to end the block in Java DSL Notice this document is based on how it works in Camel 2.0. In Camel 1.x this feature isn't as powerful and it uses a slight different keyword names. About doCatch and its power over Java The doCatch in Camel is empowered over its Java sister. First of all you can define multiple exceptions to catch in a single block. And secondly you can attach a onWhen predicate to signal if the catch should trigger or not at runtime. To simulate rehrowing an exception from a doCatch you should use the handled predicate. If its evaluated to false Camel will reattach the exception on the Exchange. And just like Java the order in which you have multiple doCatch blocks matter. Camel will iterate from the top going down and use the first doCatch that matches the exception and if the onWhen predicate matches as well (if any provided). This is the same behavior as the Exception Clause. Using try .. catch .. finally in Java DSL In the route below we have all keywords in action. As the code is based on a unit test we route using Mock. from("direct:start") .doTry() .process(new ProcessorFail()) .to("mock:result") .doCatch(IOException.class, IllegalStateException.class) .to("mock:catch") .doFinally() .to("mock:finally") .end(); And in the route below we want to indicate if an IOException occured we want to route it elsewhere and at the same time keep the exception so the original caller is notified about this exception. To do this we need to not rethrow the exception and this is why we use handled and set it to false to indicate, no we did not handle it so please keep the exception. The 2nd exception block can be omitted but as the code is based on an unit test we want to test the behavior non IOException as well. from("direct:start") // here is our try where we try processing the exchange in the route below if it fails // we can catch it below, just like regular try .. catch .. finally in Java .doTry() .process(new ProcessorFail()) .to("mock:result") // catch IOExcption that we do not want to handle, eg the caller should get the error back .doCatch(IOException.class) // mark this as NOT handled, eg the caller will also get the exception .handled(false) .to("mock:io") .doCatch(Exception.class) // and catch all other exceptions // they are handled by default (ie handled = true) .to("mock:error") // here the try block ends .end(); And finally we have an example of the onWhen predicate in action. We can attach it to a doCatch block and at runtime determine if the block should be triggered or not. In our case we only want to trigger if the caused exception message contains the damn word. from("direct:start") // here is our try where we try processing the exchange in the route below if it fails // we can catch it below, just like regular try .. catch .. finally in Java .doTry() .process(new ProcessorFail()) .to("mock:result") // here we catch the following 2 exceptions but only if // the onWhen predicate matches, eg if the exception messsage // conatins the string word Damn .doCatch(IOException.class, IllegalStateException.class) .onWhen(exceptionMessage().contains("Damn")) .to("mock:catch") // another catch for CamelExchangeException that does not have any onWhen predicate .doCatch(CamelExchangeException.class) .to("mock:catchCamel") // and the finally that is always processed .doFinally() .to("mock:finally") // here the try block ends .end(); Using try .. catch .. finally in Spring DSL We show the three sample samples using Spring DSL instead. In the route below we have all keywords in action. As the code is based on a unit test we route using Mock. An error occurred: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/camel/trunk/components/camel-spring/src/test/resources/org/apache/camel/spring/processor/SpringTryProcessorMultipleExceptionTest.xml. The system administrator has been notified. And in the route below we want to indicate if an IOException occured we want to route it elsewhere and at the same time keep the exception so the original caller is notified about this exception. To do this we need to not rethrow the exception and this is why we use handled and set it to false to indicate, no we did not handle it so please keep the exception. The 2nd exception block can be omitted but as the code is based on an unit test we want to test the behavior non IOException as well. <route> <from uri="direct:start"/> <!-- here the try starts. its a try .. catch .. finally just as regular java code --> <doTry> <process ref="processorFail"/> <to uri="mock:result"/> <doCatch> <!-- catch IOExcption that we do not want to handle, eg the caller should get the error back --> <exception>java.io.IOException</exception> <!-- mark this as NOT handled, eg the caller will also get the exception --> <handled> <constant>false</constant> </handled> <to uri="mock:io"/> </doCatch> <doCatch> <!-- and catch all other exceptions they are handled by default (ie handled = true) --> <exception>java.lang.Exception</exception> <to uri="mock:error"/> </doCatch> </doTry> </route> And finally we have an example of the onWhen predicate in action.
