Camel Restlet - Context Path Ambiquity - rest

Question

I have Spring Boot Camel application where rest apis are exposed using camel-restlet
Sample route
#Component
public class AppRoute extends RouteBuilder{
public void configure(CamelContext context){
from("restlet:employee?restletMethods=GET").log("${body}");
}
}
The App runs perfect ( spring-boot:run ). but am unable to locate under which path the API is exposed. Log has no information.
Every API i hit returns 404. Log shows the route has been started. Under which path is it running. And how do I change it?
Note: Please dont suggest any XML based configuration. Anything that I can put under #Configuration would be perfect

Answer 1

I would go with the Rest DSL which is supported by the camel-restlet component like this
restConfiguration().component("restlet").port(8080);
rest("/rest")
.get("employee")
.route().log("${body}")
.endRest();
And this route will listen to the following url
http://localhost:8080/rest/employee
EDIT:
I guess you could do something like without using the Rest DSL
String host = InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName();
from("restlet:http://" + host + contextPath + "/employee?restletMethods=GET").log("${body}")
The port and context path are configurable with the following properties
camel.component.restlet.port=8686
server.servlet.context-path=/my-path
The context path can be injected in the routeBuilder with
#Value("${server.servlet.context-path}")
private String contextPath;

Answer 2

According to the documentation, the format of the URI in a restlet endpoint definition should be the following:
restlet:restletUrl[?options]
Where restletUrl should have the following format:
protocol://hostname[:port][/resourcePattern]
So in your case you could define the URI in the following way:
from("restlet:http://localhost/employee?restletMethods=GET")
This should make the endpoint available under the following URL:
http://localhost/employee
Which you can test e.g. in a web browser.

Use the first of the three configuration methods described here:
https://restlet.com/open-source/documentation/javadocs/2.0/jee/ext/org/restlet/ext/servlet/ServerServlet.html
You should be able to customize it using the Component:
https://restlet.com/open-source/documentation/javadocs/2.0/jee/api/org/restlet/Component.html?is-external=true
See in particular setServers() methods (or XML equivalent) to change the hostname and port.
