Hi,
I am having trouble catching the following exception when calling a web service via CXF:
org.apache.cxf.interceptor.Fault: Connection refused
Here is what I do:
I have my route and from there I call a processor which itself does the CXF call.
Here is the route:
-
onException(Exception.class).handled(true).process(pollingExceptionsProcessor);
From("quartz://MyTimer/Polling?trigger.repeatInterval=60000&trigger.repeatCount=-1")
.process(clientProcessor);
-
And here is my clientProcessor:
-
// Creating the JaxWS client dynamically
JaxWsProxyFactoryBean factory = new JaxWsProxyFactoryBean();
factory.setServiceClass(WSDL.class);
for (BackendService bsi : bsis) {
wsUrl = bsi.getUrl();
factory.setAddress(wsUrl);
WSDL hcWSDL = (WSDL) factory.create();
try {
hcResponse = hcWSDL.healthCheck(hcRequest);
handleHCResponse(hcResponse, bsi.getId());
} catch (WebServiceException wse) {
log.error(message);
} catch (Exception ex) {
log.error(message);
}
}
-
My problem is that when the backend server exposing the web service is down, I get the following exception from the "hcWSDL.healthCheck(hcRequest);" statement:
org.apache.cxf.interceptor.Fault: Connection refused
In itself it is not a problem. The problem is that my try/catch does not catch it.
It gets caught in the pollingExceptionsProcessor in the onException mechanism at the route level!
And I need to catch it in my try/catch so I can handle it properly and carry on with my loop.
The interesting thing is that if I replace "hcWSDL.healthCheck(hcRequest);" with creating and throwing my own Fault exception then it gets properly caught! Like this:
Throwable t = new Throwable("I created my own Fault Exception");
throw new Fault(t);
So can someone tell me the following:
- how can the exception from the WS call escape the try/catch without being caught?
- does it have anything to do with some inbuilt CXF interceptors?
- how can I solve my problem so I can catch the Fault exception in my clientProcessor and prevent it from ending up being caught at the route level?
Thanks a lot!
JM.
