This example demonstrates how you can use Servlet to expose a http service in a Camel route, and run that in a servlet container such as Apache Tomcat.

The Camel route is illustrated in the figure below. The servlet:hello endpoint is listening for HTTP requests, and being routed using the Content Based Router.

The request is being routed whether or not there is a HTTP query parameter with the name name. This is best illustrated as in the figure below, where we are running this quickstart. The first attempt there is no name parameter, and Camel returns a message that explains to the user, to add the parameter. In the send attempt we provide ?name=fabric in the HTTP url, and Camel responses with a greeting message.

Building and running this quickstart consists of a single steps:

Run the following:

mvn fabric8:run

then click the URL you see in the output log
