Thanks for the help. I came with the following solution:
public class ErrorHandlerNotifier implements Processor{ Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(ErrorHandlerNotifier.class); private String destination; private final String DEFAULT_DESTINATION = "activemq:MAILING"; private int numberOfRedeliveries; private final int DEFAULT_NUMBER_OF_REDELIVERIES = 100; public void setMonitoringDestination(String destination) { if(destination == null){ this.destination = DEFAULT_DESTINATION; logger.debug("Usign default destination {} for monitoring error handler.",DEFAULT_DESTINATION); }else{ this.destination = destination; logger.debug("Using destination {} for monitoring error handler.",destination); } } public void setMaximumNumberOfRedeliveries(int numberOfRedeliveries) { if(numberOfRedeliveries == 0){ this.numberOfRedeliveries = DEFAULT_NUMBER_OF_REDELIVERIES; logger.debug("Using default number of redeliveries : {}",DEFAULT_NUMBER_OF_REDELIVERIES); }else{ this.numberOfRedeliveries = numberOfRedeliveries; logger.debug("Using number of redeliveries : {}",numberOfRedeliveries); } } public void process(Exchange exchange) throws Exception { int redeliveryCounter = exchange.getIn().getHeader("CamelRedeliveryCounter", Integer.class); //Check if the retry needs to be notified. if(redeliveryCounter == numberOfRedeliveries){ numberOfRedeliveries = numberOfRedeliveries * 2; logger.info("Send a notification... "); exchange.getIn().setHeader("TooManyRedeliveries",true); exchange.getContext().createProducerTemplate().send(destination, exchange); } } } And Spring: <errorHandler id="eh" type="DefaultErrorHandler" onRedeliveryRef="myRetryProcessor"> <redeliveryPolicy maximumRedeliveries="20" redeliveryDelay="1000" retryAttemptedLogLevel="WARN"/> </errorHandler> <bean id="myRetryProcessor" class="com.test.ErrorHandlerNotifier"> <property name="monitoringDestination" value="activemq:MAILING"/> <property name="maximumNumberOfRedeliveries" value="200"/> </bean> Thanks for the help! -- View this message in context: http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/On-exception-notify-first-error-tp5767385p5767494.html Sent from the Camel - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
