The Spark-rest component allows to define REST endpoints using the Spark REST Java library (not to be mistaken with Apache Spark) using the Rest DSL.

Info

This component integrates with Spark REST Java library which is a REST library. This is not related to Apache Spark which is a project about big data.

Apache Camel also provides a Camel component (camel-spark) for integrating Camel with Apache Spark.

Info
Spark REST Java Library requires Java 8 runtime.

Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml for this component:

...

Path using Spark syntax

The path option is defined using a Spark REST syntax where you define the REST context path using support for parameters and splat. See more details at the Spark Java Route documentation.

...

Code Block
  from("spark-rest:get:/hello/*/to/*")
    .transform().simple("Bye big ${header.splat[1]} from ${header.splat[0]}");

Rest DSL

Apache Camel provides a new Rest DSL that allow to define the REST services in a nice REST style. For example we can define a REST hello service in Java DSL as shown below:

Tabs Container
idRestDslTabs
titleRest DSL
directionhorizontal
Tabs Page
idRestDslTabsJava
titleJava
Code Block
  return new RouteBuilder() {
      @Override
      public void configure() throws Exception {
            rest("/hello/{me}").get()
                .route().transform().simple("Bye ${header.me}");
        }
    };

            <simple>Bye ${header.me}</simple>
          </transform>
        </route>
      </get>
    </rest>
  </camelContext>
