Modifying URLs on a Rest Server in Delphi

I've written a REST server in Delphi XE (using the wizard) and I want to change the URLs a bit so that instead of having http://192.168.1.84:8080/datasnap/rest/TServerMethods1/GetListings I get something that looks more like http://192.168.1.84:8080/GetListings

Is there a nice easy of doing this?

Solution

  • The naming convention is (Delphi XE3):

    http://my.site.com/datasnap/rest/URIClassName/URIMethodName[/inputParameter]

    You can easily change the "datasnap" and "rest" part of the URL in the TDSHTTPWebDispatcher component properties. You can change the Class Name and Method Name of the URL by simply changing the name of your class and method. However, you still have to have 4 components to the URL, so for example it could be:

    http://my.site.com/api/v1/People/Listing
