Mule - Error Handling

Question

In Mule I'm using a catch exception strategy referenced by a "complex" flow. I put a jdbc component in the exception strategy, to update a table record in case of error How can I access the exception stack trace to log it on this table? I checked the payload at the beginning of the exception strategy and it is of type org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.PostMethod in fact I got the error during an http call.

Answer 1

In the exception strategy exception is not available in the Payload. It is available in the exceptionPayload variable of the Message object.

Use

Exception exception = (Exception)message.getExceptionPayload().getException();

This give ExceptionPaylaod object whose getException() method provides the exception object.

To get the stack trace use the following.

StackTraceElement[] ste = exception.getCause().getStackTrace();

From there you can continue as your need.

Hope this helps.
