.h4 Point of entry for redelivery attempts
All redelivery attempts start at the point of the failure. So the route:

.onException(ConnectException.class)
.from("direct:start")
 .process("processor1")
 .process("processor2") // <--- throws a ConnectException
.to("mock:theEnd")

Will retry from processor2 not the complete route.

Reusing ReliveryPolicy

Available as of Camel 1.5.1 or later
You can reference a RedeliveryPolicy so you can reuse existing configurations and use standard spring bean style configuration that supports property placeholders.
