Hi Willem, I upgraded to Camel 2.8.4 and CXF 2.4.6 and I still see this behavior. Here is my route. It basically reads from a folder and calls a web service:
<endpoint id="foobarWebserviceEndpoint" uri="cxf:bean:foobarRelocationService?dataFormat=PAYLOAD&loggingFeatureEnabled=true" /> <camel:route id="foobarRelocationHandlerConnector" errorHandlerRef="foobarRelocationDeadLetterErrorHandler"> <camel:from uri="foobarRelocationInputDir" /> <camel:log message="Received file for foobar Relocations: ${file:name}" /> <camel:setHeader headerName="operationName"> <constant>opName</constant> </camel:setHeader> <camel:setHeader headerName="operationNamespace"> <constant>http://www.namespace.com/</constant> </camel:setHeader> <camel:to uri="foobarWebserviceEndpoint" /> <camel:log message="Called foobar intermediary" /> </camel:route> </camel:camelContext> <bean id="foobarRelocationDeadLetterErrorHandler" class="org.apache.camel.builder.DeadLetterChannelBuilder"> <property name="deadLetterUri" value="foobarRelocationDeadLetterDir" /> <property name="redeliveryPolicy" ref="foobarRelocationRedeliveryPolicyConfig" /> </bean> <bean id="foobarRelocationRedeliveryPolicyConfig" class="org.apache.camel.processor.RedeliveryPolicy"> <property name="maximumRedeliveries" value="3" /> <property name="redeliveryDelay" value="5000" /> </bean> I get a connection refused error when I shut down the server: [rna/relocation/connector/input] PhaseInterceptorChain DEBUG Invoking handleFault on interceptor org.apache.cxf.interceptor.BareOutInterceptor@4320d68d [rna/relocation/connector/input] PhaseInterceptorChain DEBUG Invoking handleFault on interceptor org.apache.cxf.binding.soap.interceptor.SoapOutInterceptor@5538615e [rna/relocation/connector/input] PhaseInterceptorChain DEBUG Invoking handleFault on interceptor org.apache.cxf.ws.addressing.soap.MAPCodec@465e34ce [rna/relocation/connector/input] PhaseInterceptorChain DEBUG Invoking handleFault on interceptor org.apache.cxf.interceptor.StaxOutInterceptor@5123ac44 [rna/relocation/connector/input] PhaseInterceptorChain DEBUG Invoking handleFault on interceptor org.apache.cxf.interceptor.AttachmentOutInterceptor@674a93a6 [rna/relocation/connector/input] PhaseInterceptorChain DEBUG Invoking handleFault on interceptor org.apache.cxf.interceptor.LoggingOutInterceptor@491f03e4 [rna/relocation/connector/input] PhaseInterceptorChain DEBUG Invoking handleFault on interceptor org.apache.cxf.interceptor.MessageSenderInterceptor@1338933d [rna/relocation/connector/input] PhaseInterceptorChain DEBUG Invoking handleFault on interceptor org.apache.cxf.binding.soap.interceptor.SoapPreProtocolOutInterceptor@20e5e569 [rna/relocation/connector/input] PhaseInterceptorChain DEBUG Invoking handleFault on interceptor org.apache.cxf.binding.soap.interceptor.SoapHeaderOutFilterInterceptor@7d02cdf9 [rna/relocation/connector/input] PhaseInterceptorChain DEBUG Invoking handleFault on interceptor org.apache.cxf.ws.addressing.MAPAggregator@5c04e904 [rna/relocation/connector/input] PhaseInterceptorChain DEBUG Invoking handleFault on interceptor org.apache.cxf.ws.policy.PolicyOutInterceptor@7f1ef3e7 [rna/relocation/connector/input] PhaseInterceptorChain WARN Interceptor for {http://www.XXX.com}FOOBAR-Relocation#{http://www.XXX.com/1.0.0}SubmitFOOBARPackage has thrown exception, unwinding now org.apache.cxf.interceptor.Fault: Could not generate the XML stream caused by: com.ctc.wstx.exc.WstxIOException: Connection refused. at org.apache.cxf.databinding.source.XMLStreamDataWriter.write(XMLStreamDataWriter.java:91)[cxf-rt-core-2.4.6.jar:2.4.6] at org.apache.cxf.databinding.source.XMLStreamDataWriter.write(XMLStreamDataWriter.java:50)[cxf-rt-core-2.4.6.jar:2.4.6] at org.apache.camel.component.cxf.HybridSourceDataBinding$1.write(HybridSourceDataBinding.java:101)[camel-cxf-2.8.4.jar:2.8.4] After this the route continues rather than trying redelivery. If I throw an exception processor in there: <camel:to uri="bean:throwit"/> <bean id="throwit" class="org.search.processor.Process"/> Then I see the redelivery attempts happen. This does not happen with the web service 'connection refused' though... Any ideas?
