Apache Camel choice() and doTry() don't seem to work together

Question

When I define a route (snippet) like this:

.doTry()
    .choice()
        .when(header("s").isEqualTo(1))
            .log(LoggingLevel.WARN, "normal")
    .endChoice()
.doCatch(Exception.class)
    .log(LoggingLevel.WARN, "exception")
.endDoTry()

I am getting a Cannot resolve method doCatch(...) error in my IDE (IntelliJ).

Am I not allowed to put choice predicates within doTry()?

Answer 1

Try this:

.doTry()
    .choice()
        .when(header("s").isEqualTo(1))
            .log(LoggingLevel.WARN, "normal")
    .endDoTry()
.doCatch(Exception.class)
    .log(LoggingLevel.WARN, "exception")
.end()

I was making the same error as you not so long ago; "endDoTry" sounds like "end the doTry block" but I think it should in fact be read as "end whatever the current block is and go back to the enclosing try definition".

The same applies to "endChoice".
