| # 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-http4` 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-netty4-http |
| - camel-jetty |
| - camel-restlet |
| - camel-undertow |
| |
| ## How to run |
| |
| You can run this example using |
| |
| mvn spring-boot:run |
| |
