This example illustrates how to use Spring Boot with Camel. It provides a simple REST service that is created with Camel REST DSL and documented with OpenApi.
The project uses the camel-spring-boot-starter
dependency, a Spring Boot starter dependency for Camel that simplifies the Maven configuration.
The project also uses camel-servlet
component as the HTTP transport component for Camel REST DSL.
You can run this example using:
$ mvn spring-boot:run
You should see the following output when the application is launched:
...

After the Spring Boot application is started, you can open the following URL in your web browser to access the REST endpoint and retrieve a list of users: http://localhost:8080/camel/users
You can also access the REST endpoint from the command line:
$ curl http://localhost:8080/api/users
The command will produce the following output:
[ {
"id" : 1,
"name" : "John Coltrane"
}, {
"id" : 2,
"name" : "Miles Davis"
}, {
"id" : 3,
"name" : "Sonny Rollins"
} ]
The OpenApi documentation is located at: http://localhost:8080/api/api-doc
and can be retrieved with the following command:
$ curl http://localhost:8080/api/api-doc
The Spring Boot application can be stopped pressing [CTRL] + [C]
in the shell.
