Description

When configuring a fallback in the hystrix filter (like forward:/path/to/fallback) is there a way to get the execution result? More specifically get the execution exception?

The call goes through org.springframework.cloud.gateway.filter.factory.HystrixGatewayFilterFactory.RouteHystrixCommand#resumeWithFallback. During debugging the execution result is available, so certain data could be added as attributes on the exchange for example.

Research direction

Start at org.springframework.cloud.gateway.filter.factory.HystrixGatewayFilterFactory.RouteHystrixCommand#resumeWithFallback and trace how the execution result is available during fallback handling. Determine whether the execution exception can be exposed through exchange attributes for a configured fallback, and verify that the fallback can access the requested data.
