Skip Camel Processor if Previous Processor Failed - apache-camel

Question

I have a camel route that goes through a series of processors which each call some service. If processor 1 fails gracefully, I no longer want to call processors 2-5, but I do want to call consolidateResponse. The same for all the other processors. Is there a best practices way of achieving this without throwing an exception on failures?
<camel:routeContext id="myRouteRouteContext">
<camel:route id="my-route-route">
<camel:from uri="{{camel.uri.myRoute}}" />
<camel:process ref="{{bean.processor.processor1}}" />
<camel:process ref="{{bean.processor.processor21}}" />
<camel:process ref="{{bean.processor.processor3}}" />
<camel:process ref="{{bean.processor.processor4}}" />
<camel:process ref="{{bean.processor.processor5}}" />
<!-- Stringfy response object into a JSon text response -->
<camel:process ref="{{bean.processor.consolidateResponse}}" />
<!-- All catch exception handler -->
<camel:onException>
<camel:exception>java.lang.Exception</camel:exception>
<camel:handled>
<camel:constant>true</camel:constant>
</camel:handled>
<camel:to uri="{{camel.uri.error}}" />
</camel:onException>
</camel:route>
</camel:routeContext>

I think try catch is best solution also it is common programming solution also camel also has stop
https://camel.apache.org/manual/try-catch-finally.html
from("direct:start")
.choice()
.when(body().contains("Hello")).to("mock:hello")
.when(body().contains("Bye")).to("mock:bye").stop()
.otherwise().to("mock:other")
.end()
.to("mock:result");
