== Camel Example Rest Producer

This example shows how to call a REST service using Camel Rest.

The example uses a timer to trigger a Camel route to call the REST service.
The REST service is embedded within Spring Boot itself so it can run standalone.

=== Camel routes

The Camel route is located in the `RestRoute` class. In this class the route
starts from a timer, that triggers every 2nd second and calls the REST service using the rest endpoint
which returns a message, that is logged.

=== Configuring Rest

The rest producer is configured using Camels Rest DSL which is done using the `restConfiguration` in the route.
The actual HTTP client that is used to call the REST service is `camel-http` which is added as dependency
in the `pom.xml` file. You can use other HTTP clients with the REST producer such as

- camel-http
- camel-netty-http
- camel-undertow

=== How to run

You can run this example using

    mvn spring-boot:run
