Issue: Akka Camel responding with Exception not being caught by Camel

Akka

We are using XML DSL with Akka Camel (2.5.13), and found that when a camel <to> points to a bean, which answers with an Exception, it is not caught by Camel.

Our Scala code:

private def replyError(exception: ChannelException) {
    log.error(exception.error)
    sender ! akka.actor.Status.Failure(exception)
 }

Our Camel route:

<route id="timer">
	<from uri="timer://test?period=3000&amp;delay=5000&amp;repeatCount=0"/>

	<doTry>
		
		<to uri="AKKABEAN"/>
		<doCatch>
			<exception>java.lang.Exception</exception>

			<log message="**********************************EXCEPTION HANDLED*******************************"/>

		</doCatch>
	</doTry>

</route>

On camel log:

If I use a bean that just returns an error it works perfectly fine, example:

<bean id="forced" class="java.lang.Exception">
	<constructor-arg index="0" value="This is forced"/>
</bean>

Is this an issue? I tried using <onException> but also with no effect.

Thanks!
