Description

The ExtractHL7Attribute processor will not route a flowfile to REL_FAILURE if processing the flow file throws an exception that is not an HL7Exception. This bug is a result of the try catch block in the onTrigger method. It is easily fixed by changing the catch block to catch a throwable object. Change

 
try {
    ...
} catch (final HL7Exception e) {
    getLogger().error("Failed to extract attributes from {} due to {}", new Object[]{flowFile, e}, e);
    session.transfer(flowFile, REL_FAILURE);
    return;
}

to

 
try {
    ...
} catch (final Throwable t) {
    getLogger().error("Failed to extract attributes from {} due to {}", new Object[]{flowFile, t}, t);
    session.transfer(flowFile, REL_FAILURE);
    return;
}
