Hi Bharadwaj Can you be specific. Are you planning to consume a rest service or expose a rest service? The implementation is different for both. You need the annotated java classes only if you are exposing the rest point
1) If you are exposing ( server ), you can either use cxfrs or camel-restlet component. Find the sample POC at below url which I have coded. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/99r1fbic7z3s355/AACtISev3q3UPy8U-pFSxRJza?dl=0 2) If you are planning to consume (client) a rest service, you can even use the normal http / http4 or restlet producer endpoint. Just specify the http method you plan to use appropriately and the data/body/entity which has to be passed to the service shud be part of camel exchange body.
