| This extension depends on the xref:reference/extensions/platform-http.adoc[Platform HTTP] extension |
| and configures it as the component that provides the REST transport. |
| |
| ### Path parameters containing special characters with platform-http |
| |
| When using the `platform-http` REST transport, some characters are not allowed within path parameter names. This includes the '-' and '$' characters. |
| |
| In order to make the below example REST `/dashed/param` route work correctly, a system property is required `io.vertx.web.route.param.extended-pattern=true`. |
| |
| [source,java] |
| ---- |
| import org.apache.camel.builder.RouteBuilder; |
| |
| public class CamelRoute extends RouteBuilder { |
| |
| @Override |
| public void configure() { |
| rest("/api") |
| // Dash '-' is not allowed by default |
| .get("/dashed/param/{my-param}") |
| .to("direct:greet") |
| |
| // The non-dashed path parameter works by default |
| .get("/undashed/param/{myParam}") |
| .to("direct:greet"); |
| |
| from("direct:greet") |
| .setBody(constant("Hello World")); |
| } |
| } |

| |
| There is some more background to this in the https://vertx.io/docs/vertx-web/java/#_capturing_path_parameters[Vert.x Web documentation]. |
| |
| ### Configuring alternate REST transport providers |
| |
| To use another REST transport provider, such as `netty-http` or `servlet`, you need to add the respective |
| extension as a dependency to your project and set the provider in your `RouteBuilder`. E.g. for `servlet`, you'd |
| have to add the `org.apache.camel.quarkus:camel-quarkus-servlet` dependency and the set the provider as |
| follows: |
| |
| [source,java] |
| ---- |
| import org.apache.camel.builder.RouteBuilder; |
| |
| public class CamelRoute extends RouteBuilder { |
| |
| @Override |
| public void configure() { |
| restConfiguration() |
| .component("servlet"); |
| ... |
| } |
| } |
