I am not clear how to get the request object from the exchange.  Could
you clarify it?

The processor/endpoint that I delegated to may need to know "metadata"
(such as verb, path, URI templates parameters, media type, etc).   Are
these information available in the exchange?

Thanks.

Each validity REST request will be mapped to a method call of the
resources class's instance. Current camel-cxfrs consumer just take this
call from the CxfRsInvoker and pass it to the Camel processors.

You can find more detail information in the CxfRsInvoker.java[1]

No, you can't get these information for camel-cxfrs consumer.
