AEM : REST Service

[Murali89]

Is there a way to implement and expose a rest service from AEM OSGI bundle so that other application like MULE or Hybris can consume it?

AEM is based on Sling framework which is REST based, so definitely you can have a REST services as @scott mentioned

AEM exposes Restful endpoints via servlets. You can use the default SlingPostServlet or write your own servlets. 

That is - you can write a Sling Servlet that accepts GETs or POSTs. Other clients that are able to perform REST requests can sent REST requests to AEM by performing GET or POSTs. Here is an example of a .NET app interacting with AEM using the default SLingPOstServlet:

Of course - you can write your own Sling Servlets - as talked about here.
