Path syntax
The path option is defined using a REST syntax where you define the REST context path using support for parameters.
The following is a Camel route using a fixed path
from("rest:get:hello")
.transform().constant("Bye World");
And the following route uses a parameter which is mapped to a Camel header with the key "me".
from("rest:get:hello/{me}")
.transform().simple("Bye ${header.me}");
