In Camel we prefix the keywords with do to avoid having same keyword as Java. So we have:

  • doTry
  • doCatch
  • doFinally
  • end to end the block in Java DSL

Notice this document is based on how it works in Camel 2.0. In Camel 1.x this feature isn't as powerful and it uses a slight different keyword names.

...

When using doTry .. doCatch .. doFinally then the regular Camel Error Handler does not apply. That means any onException or the likes does not trigger. The reason is that doTry .. doCatch .. doFinally is in fact its own error handler and that it aims to mimic and work like how try/catch/finally works in Java.

...

A third feature is that you can attach a onWhen predicate to signal if the catch should trigger or not at runtime.

And to simulate rehrowing rethrowing an exception from a doCatch you should use the handled predicate. If its evaluated to false Camel will reattach the exception on the Exchange.

In the route below we have all keywords in action. As the code is based on a unit test we route using Mock.

And in the route below we want to indicate if an IOException occured we want to route it elsewhere and at the same time keep the exception so the original caller is notified about this exception. To do this we need to not rethrow the exception and this is why we use handled and set it to false to indicate, no we did not handle it so please keep the exception.
The 2nd exception block can be omitted but as the code is based on an unit test we want to test the behavior non IOException as well.

...

And finally we have an example of the onWhen predicate in action. We can attach it to a doCatch block and at runtime determine if the block should be triggered or not.
In our case we only want to trigger if the caused exception message contains the damn word.

...

Notice when using Java DSL we must use end() to indicate where the try .. catch .. finally block ends. As the example above has a finally, then the end() should be at the end of the finally block. If we are not using a finally, then the end() should be at the end of the doCatch to indicate the end there.
