Hi, These handled(...) methods have been deprecated since camel-2.4.0 and they are not providing any value, I doubt anybody is using them. I would recommend removing them and document in the wiki a bit better what the alternative is (because there is a bit of work). Actually the alternative is not really that (as the wiki states), but it the proper way of handling exceptions. However, as I said, I doubt the handled methods are used much.
I will create an issue and assign it to 2.8.0. Depending on the feedback in this thread we'll either fix it later this week or move it to a future version. Thoughts? Hadrian
