Description

Use an onException handler like this:

onException(Throwable.class).to("direct:handle_er");
from("direct:handle_er")..throwException(new RuntimeException());

If the main route throws an exception then this will create an infinite recursion of exceptions.

I would expect that camel handles the exception inside an onException handler differently. So the onException is not called again.
