Chapter 3. Viewing and editing Rest DSL components

If your project’s Camel Context file contains Camel Rest DSL components, you can view a graphical representation of the components in the route editor’s REST tab and edit the components in the Source tab.

3.1. Viewing Rest DSL components

If your project’s Camel Context file contains Camel Rest DSL components, follow these steps to view the REST components:

  1. Open the Camel Context file in the route editor.
  2. Click the REST tab to the view the Rest DSL components.

    Note

    The REST Configuration section displays these configuration options:

    • Component — The Camel component to use for the REST transport.
    • Context Path — The leading context-path for the REST services. You can use this option for components, such as Servlet, where the web application is deployed using a context-path.
    • Port — The port number that exposes the REST service.
    • Binding Mode — The binding mode for JSON or XML format messages. Possible values are: off (the default), auto, json, xml, or json_xml.
    • Host — The hostname to use for exposing the REST service.
  3. Click a REST element to view its associated operations (for example, GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE) in the REST Operations section.
  4. Click a REST element or a REST operation to view its properties in the Properties view.
