I'm trying to use Camel embedded into an application (Spring configured) to push files from a local directory to an instance of RabbitMQ. It's been working well so far, except in the case where RabbitMQ is not available for some reason (network outage, maintenance, etc.), and our application is started. In this case, Camel is unable to start because the endpoint is not available (FailedToCreateProducerException resulting from a "connection refused").
Is it possible to recover from such an error? The ideal situation would be to allow a configuration where redelivery attempts could be made in the hope that RabbitMQ will become available again. Our application that is using Camel is deployed on several hundred workstations and it would be necessary to configure Camel in such a way that recovery (reconnect to Rabbit) would be automatic. Any ideas? There doesn't appear to be a way to configure Camel using the available Exception handling strategies to operate in this manner, although my guess is that I've missed something. Thanks! - Matt
