Path syntax
The path option is defined using a REST syntax where you define the REST context path using support for parameters.
The following is a Camel route using a fixed path
from("rest:get:hello")
.transform().constant("Bye World");
And the following route uses a parameter which is mapped to a Camel header with the key "me".
from("rest:get:hello/{me}")
.transform().simple("Bye ${header.me}");
More examples
There is a camel-example-spark-rest-tomcat example in the Apache Camel distribution, that demonstrates how to use the Rest DSL with the Spark-rest as transport that can be deployed on Apache Tomcat, or similar web containers.
