How to customize URL pattern in WSO2AM

Question

I am designing an API using WSO2AM 2.0
My service is like : http://190.100.10.10:9000/abc/xyz/doPost<br>

I want to replace /abc/xyz/doPost by /<MY_CUSTOM_PATH>/doPost

How can I make a custom URL pattern to hide my original URL path from the service? Like: http://<WSO2AM_GENERATED_HOST>/WSO2AM_CONTEXT/WSO2AM_VERSION/<MY_CUSTOM_PATH>/doPost

I have searched the docs, but I am not able to find any related tutorial. If I put /abc/xyz/doPost it will get appended to the WSO2AM generated hostname.

What is "EDIT SOURCE" in the image below?
Can it be used to do what I want? If YES, How??

There aren't anything like WSO2AM_CONTEXT or WSO2AM_VERSION. You can provide any value for the context and version. Version can be String, numbers, etc.

In your case, you can use abc as context and xyz as the version.

WSO2AM_CONTEXT or WSO2AM_VERSION is referring to the context and version we put.... and I don't want to use "abc" as context and "xyz" as version. Can I somehow modify my URL Path? – Abhinav Tyagi Oct 04 '16 at 07:24
@AbhinavTyagi, You can't modify the context once you have created the API. In the API Manager next release, you can customize the URL. I guess, you can use Load Balancer to route the request to your API with custom URL – Abimaran Kugathasan Oct 04 '16 at 07:28
Can I modify it while I am designing the API on WSO? – Abhinav Tyagi Oct 04 '16 at 07:30

When is the new version coming? I am using latest 2.0 – Abhinav Tyagi Oct 04 '16 at 08:44

That is exactly the kind of URL you would get in WSO2 API Cloud: http://your.custom.url/api-name/version/context. See this tutorial for details: https://docs.wso2.com/display/APICloud/Customize+the+API+Store+and+Gateway+URLs

I am not using WSO cloud. I have the zip version installed on my local Machine. – Abhinav Tyagi Oct 05 '16 at 16:22
Sure. My point is that if it works that way in the cloud, that means that the product is capable of it already (cloud is the same product - just set up and maintained by WSO2). – DSotnikov Oct 06 '16 at 17:36

It might not be complicated...

In publisher interface, when you add/edit an API, in "Implementation" screen, just configure WSO2 APIM to point to "http://190.100.10.10:9000/abc/xyz" - this way, "/abc/xyz" will not be visible to your clients.

So in this case,

http://<WSO2AM_GENERATED_HOST>/WSO2AM_CONTEXT/WSO2AM_VERSION/doPost

will point to:

http://190.100.10.10:9000/abc/xyz/doPost

If you wanted to add additional custi=om paths, in the "Design" screen you attached, you can also add your "(MY_CUSTOM_PATH)/doPost" path there.

This way

http://<WSO2AM_GENERATED_HOST>/WSO2AM_CONTEXT/WSO2AM_VERSION/<MY_CUSTOM_PATH>/doPost

will point to:

http://190.100.10.10:9000/abc/xyz//<MY_CUSTOM_PATH>/doPost

(However, your backend services should also have "//doPost" implemented)

my path sometimes contains different names before doPost. if this works I will then need to create different APIs — Abhinav Tyagi, Oct 07 '16 at 11:17
