For now I've written a simple bridging interceptor that forwards the exception on to Camel. I ended up going for a Camel errorHandler instead of transactions, but both need the exception exposed to Camel Exchange. If CamelDestination doesn't expose the exception, the errorHandler doesn't get triggered and any open transactions don't get rolled back. With CXF's JMS Destination, you are transaction aware, but with CamelDestination it isn't since it's not forwarding the exception.
In my case, the operations are one-way so I don't need to worry about serializing back the exception, just making sure it is handled or at least reported failure (through camel) // Phase.RECEIVE @Override public void handleFault(Message message) { Exception exception = message.getContent(Exception.class); Exchange exchange = (Exchange) message.get(CxfConstants.CAMEL_EXCHANGE); exchange.setException(exception); } I'll probably play with this some more when I need to do two-way operations, since I suspect we'll still want Camel to be aware of and handle the exception, even if CXF is generating an out fault message, for things like transactions, retry and dead message queues. -----Original Message----- From: Willem Jiang [mailto:willem.ji...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, June 08, 2011 6:33 PM To: us...@cxf.apache.org Cc: Sven Zethelius; users@camel.apache.org Subject: Re: CXF + Camel + JMS Endpoint exception handling Current Camel transport for CXF just provides a transport tunnel for use to use. It can't handle the exception that comes from the service implementation. If you want the camel to handle the application exception, you may consider to use camel CXFBean[1] components. BTW you had to marshal the exception yourself :) [1]http://camel.apache.org/cxf-bean-component.html On 6/9/11 7:15 AM, Sven Zethelius wrote: > I've started playing with CXF + Camel + JMS, and have set up a sample client > and service that can put and get messages from a JMS Queue. > > I've started going deeper to understand the transaction and retry logic since > one of the use cases I have is to use either the JMS or Camel retry logic to > reprocess messages that threw exceptions.
