REST Client with Basic Authentication
Use case
This documentation outlines the process of creating a REST client that interacts with a Customer service requiring Basic Authentication via a username and password.
Design
The solution consists of two main components:
-
REST Client Route: This route contains the logic for calling the REST service. It handles the HTTP request, manages authentication headers, and processes the response from the Customer service,
client.camel.yaml -
Example Usage: An additional route demonstrates how to invoke the REST client from another route, ensuring seamless integration and reuse.
