Can error handling be added to a custom endpoint?

[ronP12]

Hi All,
 I was wondering if the ErrorHandler can be configured in an endpoint?  For example, the SFTP component allows the user to configure certain fields (ie:  privateKeyFile, knownHosts) when the route is created.  Is there a way to add error handling properties such as maxRetries and deadLetterChannel to a custom component rather than configuring it in the Route?    

Thanks,
ronP

No error handling is Messaging based. So that only kicks in when a
message is being routed in Camel.
All the stuff that happens before a Message is created and ready to be
routed is component specific and must be handled by that component
itself.

However the file/ftp based components have options where you can
configure what it should do in case of some sort of errors, such as a
network drive not reachable. As they are polling consumer based
