## Spark REST and Apache Tomcat example

This example shows how to use Spark REST to define REST endpoints in Camel routes using the Java DSL
The routes are defined in Java code, in the `org.apache.camel.example.sparkrest.UserRouteBuilder` class.

There is a user REST service that supports the following operations

- view/id - to view a user with the given id
- list - to view all users
- update - to update/create an user

The view and list operations are HTTP GET, and update is using HTTP PUT. From a web browser you can access the first two services using the following links

- user/view/123 - to view the user with id 123
- user/list - to list all users

From the command shell you can use curl to access the service as shown below:

        curl -X GET -H "Accept: application/json" http://localhost:8080/camel-example-spark-rest-tomcat-{version}/user/view/123
        curl -X GET -H "Accept: application/json" http://localhost:8080/camel-example-spark-rest-tomcat-{version}/user/list
        curl -X PUT -d "{ \"id\": 666, \"name\": \"The devil\"}" -H "Accept: application/json" http://localhost:8080/camel-example-spark-rest-tomcat-{version}/user/update

This assume you installed the example by copying the .war as `camel-example-spark-rest-tomcat-VERSION.war` , where VERSION is the Camel version such as 2.14.0, into the webapps directory of Apache Tomcat.
