Header Enricher & Exceptions

[doughaber]

Hi All,

I have a header enricher that gets its value from invoking a method on a bean. This method can potentially throw an Exception. Is there any way to catch the exception and redirect to an exception channel? I didn't see any properties on the int:header-enricher tag that seem to support this. Does it need to be wrapped in an int:chain or something?

Thanks!
Doug

An 'error-channel' can be added at the entry point to the flow (a gateway, inbound-channel-adapter, etc).

What do you plan to do in the case that an Exception is thrown from that method?

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the quick response. I have an int:inbound-channel-adapter but I don't see any error-channel property when I try to autocomplete. Could I be missing a namespace? Do I need to insert a gateway? In the case of an error I want to either retry after a certain delay or just log it and move on (based on the exception).

Thanks!
Doug

Two questions:

1. What version of Spring Integration are you using?
2. You mean you have the simple "inbound-channel-adapter" from the core namespace? (as opposed to "file" or "jms" or similar).

1. 2.1
2. Correct - just the core namespace one.

(Wow that was fast!)
Thanks!

You may want to look at this sample. This may provide you with the alternative. https://github.com/olegz/s12gx.2011/...egration/retry
