Camel Rest api consumer using SpringOAuthResttemplate - spring

Question

I have to invoke a couple of rest web service from my spring boot application. I am planning to use the Camel to configure the flow and other EIP use cases. Some of the endpoints are using oAuth2 authentication. I am planning to use the Spring oAuthResttempalte. All the examples on the internet are either using restlet, CXF or camel-http.
Camel Rest Consmer
I am not able to find a single example with just spring resttemplate. Did anyone implement Camel Rest consumer using Spring Resttemplate?
Some of the Examples on the internet use a jetty server to consume a rest endpoint. Why do you need a jetty server for simple rest consumer?

I'm not aware of that and it's unlikely to found something in that direction because Camel already have bult-in components to consume rest endpoints.
Some of the Examples on the internet use a jetty server to consume a rest endpoint. Why do you need a jetty server for simple rest consumer?
I believe that jetty was used as a consumer not a producer endpoint. So you won't need the "server". Or maybe you saw an example using jetty acting as a server to serve an OAuth endpoint?
If you excuse my approach, I'd suggest to remain with Camel HTTP/Rest capabilities to consume REST APIs using OAuth. I've found this example on Gist:
from("direct:authService").tracing()
.setHeader(Exchange.HTTP_PATH)
.simple("<auth service context>/oauth2/token")
.setHeader("CamelHttpMethod")
.simple("POST")
.setHeader("Content-Type")
.simple("application/x-www-form-urlencoded")
.setHeader("Accept")
.simple("application/json")
.setBody()
.constant("grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=<client id>&client_secret=<client sec>")
.to("https4://<remote auth service url>")
.convertBodyTo(String.class)
.log("response from API: " + body())
.choice()
.when().simple("${header.CamelHttpResponseCode} == 200")
.unmarshal().json(JsonLibrary.Jackson, AccessResponseToken.class)
.setHeader("jwt").simple("${body.access_token}")
.to("direct:<some direct route>")
.otherwise()
.log("Not Authenticated!!!");
If you want to stick into OAuthRestTemplate you may implement a Processor or a bean to wrap those calls and return to your route the authorization token.
