How do you implement and configure ZuulFilter of type route when using spring-cloud-starter-zuul?

How do you implement and configure ZuulFilter of type "route" when using spring-cloud-starter-zuul? The idea is that instead of forwarding to another service, I would like a certain ZuulFilter to handle the request and not forward to another service.

The preferred way to do this is to setup a route that forwards to a local spring mvc controller, rather than trying to have a zuul filter deal with it.

zuul:
  routes:
    second:
      path: /second/**
      url: forward:/second

And then somewhere in the zuul app is a controller

@RestController
public class Second {
    @RequestMapping("/second/{value}") /* etc... */
}

You could do it in zuul filters, but it very unwieldy. This way, you take advantage of the ease of spring MVC.
