Propagate exception to enriching routes

Question

I have 3 routes:

• route-file1 which reads file1.csv and converts to array
• route-file2 which reads file2.csv and converts to array
• route-final which uses enrich of both routes (with custom aggregator to merge arrays) and do something

Problem is if route-file1 succeeds, but route-file2 or any other routes fail. route-file1 already completed and moved file1.csv to .done folder, so I cannot rerun everything again.

Is there a way that when route-final fails, it propagates exception to other routes used in enrich? I tried using transaction which works fine with stopping the route execution, but does not propagate exception to the route-fileX routes. Is this possible with the camel?

You can set shareUnitOfWork to true in your content-enricher's so they work together in the same unit of work. See more details in the documentation: http://camel.apache.org/content-enricher.html
