Camel Exception handling doesnt work if exception clause is defined in a separate class

Question

I am trying to build a application with several camel routes which re use many common routes internally. Hence, I am trying to segregate the routes in several different Rou

Based on the accepted answer, I found a cleaner way to implement exception handling, so you don't have to call super.configure() in every route. Just call a method that handles onException in the constructor of the base class.

//Base class that does exception handling
public abstracExceptionRouteBuildert class BaseAbstractRoute extends RouteBuilder {
  protected BaseAbstractRoute() {
    handleException();
  }

  private void handleException() {
    onException(Exception.class).handled(true).to("mock:error");
  }
}

//Extend the base class
public class MyRouteBuilder extends BaseAbstractRoute {
  @Override
  public void configure() throws Exception {
    from("direct:start").throwException(new Exception("error"));
  }
}
