Is there a component in camel for a service built on Spring RestTemplate? - spring-mvc

Question

I have a REST Service running in Tomcat server. I created this REST Service using Spring RESTTemplate. So is there a component in CAMEL to use this exposed Web service?
i have used http component. i am aware that we cannot use http component to expose a service. So please let me know which component to use.Here is a detailed description of the problem.
Service created in rest Template runs in a server which you can see in from part of camel code
i use camel to expose this service to another http service and the response of this service is the response from the other service.
so my camel code looks like this:
from("http://localhost:8080/rest/emp/dummy").to(http://anotherweservice.com")
I get this error.
Failed to create route route1: Route(route1)[[From[]] -> [process[com.routes..... because of uri must be specified and not empty

Have a look at http://camel.apache.org/how-to-use-camel-as-a-http-proxy-between-a-client-and-server.html.
Using the Jetty component, this looks as follows:
from("jetty:http://0.0.0.0:8080/myapp?matchOnUriPrefix=true")
.log("myapp: httpPath = ${header.CamelHttpPath}")
.to("jetty:http://localhost:8082/remoteapp?bridgeEndpoint=true&throwExceptionOnFailure=false")
In this example, the request is forwarded to another Jetty Camel endpoint:
from("jetty:http://0.0.0.0:8082/remoteapp?matchOnUriPrefix=true")
.log("remoteapp: httpPath = ${header.CamelHttpPath}")
.setBody(simple("${header.CamelHttpPath}"));
The HTTP path /hello/world is transfered to the endpoint, as can be seen when the service is invoked with http://localhost:8080/myapp/hello/world. In this case the body /hello/world is returned. And in the log it says:
INFO myapp: httpPath = /hello/world
INFO remoteapp: httpPath = /hello/world
