Hi See ticket, and if you got the time the nabble link https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-5587
The API on org.apache.camel.spi.ExceptionHandler has 3 methods for handling exceptions, CAMEL-5587 is a ticket to enhance that API with a new parameter that has the source that called the handler. This allows end users to know the source, and get additional details, such as if it was from a consumer, which consumer and the endpoint etc. This is needed when you for example have a custom exception handler and use it for many Camel endpoints (routes etc). Mind this only affects either - component writers if using this API - end users if using a custom exception handler. Both of these cases is not often used. As this API is not backwards compatible we could a) wait for Camel 3.0 b) introduce the change c) introduce the change, but add the 3 old methods to org.apache.camel.spi.ExceptionHandler and mark the as @deprecated Ad a) We can wait a long time then. Ad b) This requires older components to be recompiled to support newer Camel releases (if the component uses the API directly). Ad c) This allows older components to be compatible with newer Camel releases (if the component uses the API directly). -- Claus Ibsen ----------------- FuseSource Email: cib...@fusesource.com Web: http://fusesource.com Twitter: davsclaus, fusenews Blog: http://davsclaus.com Author of Camel in Action: http://www.manning.com/ibsen
