Say I would like to exploit Camel as a client to a RESTful web service. But
not sure Camel is good enough for such kind of job. I also want to use http4
or ahc component, not cxf.

In general I need only two kinds of routes:

- from Bean -> marshall to Json -> to Ahc with static URI -> unmarshall from
Json -> to Bean. 
Example of static uri: ahc:http://host/api/user/create

- from Bean -> marshall to Json -> to Ahc with dynamic URI -> unmarshall
from Json -> to Bean. 
Example of dynamic uri: ahc:http://host/api/user/id/1

I imagine to have a service class to fire such a routes in a manner like:

UserService {

    @Autowired
    protected CamelContext restApiCamelContext;

    public UserCreateResponse createUser (UserModel user) {
        ... Camel's magick which starts create user route ...
    } 

    public UserModel getUserById (Long id) {        
        ... the id must be placed somehow into endpoint uri:
http://host:port/api/user/id/${id} ...
        ... Camel's magick which get user by id ...
    }
}

The UserService is supposed to be used in Spring MVC controllers.

So, is it possible to implement such a UserService based on Camel's
capabilities? If yes, then will it work good under high pressure of tons of
user requests comming to a spring controller? Will it work fine with near
hundred of different uris?
