UrlRewrite Component
Available as of Camel 2.11
The camel-urlrewrite
component allows to plugin url rewrite functionality to HTTP, HTTP4, Jetty, or AHC components. This component integrates the UrlRewriteFilter project with Apache Camel. This allows you to use the capabilities from the url rewrite project with your Camel routes.
This component requires that your Camel routes starts from a servlet based endpoint such as Jetty or SERVLET.

Usage
You setup the url rewrite as a bean such as shown below:
TODO: java
And in XML DSL you can do:
TODO: xml
In the Camel routes
TODO: route
Writing custom url rewriters
You can implement your custom url rewriters by implementing either of the following interfaces:
org.apache.camel.component.http.UrlRewrite
org.apache.camel.component.http.HttpServletUrlRewrite
The former is a simple and generic interface, which is not dependent on the Servlet API.
The later is servlet based which requires the Camel route to start from a servlet based component such as Jetty or SERVLET. The servlet based is more feature rich and that's the API we use to integrate with the UrlRewriteFilter project in this
camel-urlrewrite
component.
