Reg Proxy End Point Setup

Google Cloud Apigee

Team,

in the API proxy, I have a ProxyEndpoint-1.xml, which has

FaultRules,PreFlow,PostFlow,Flows,HTTPProxyConnection configuration.

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<ProxyEndpoint name="ProxyEndpoint-1">
    <Description/>
    <FaultRules/>
    <PreFlow name="PreFlow">
        <Request/>
        <Response/>
    </PreFlow>
    <PostFlow name="PostFlow">
        <Request/>
        <Response/>
    </PostFlow>
    <Flows name="a">
       <Flow name ="a1">
           <Condition > a1</Condition>
        </Flow>
       <Flow name ="a2">

           <Condition > a2</Condition>

          </Flow>
    </Flows>  
    <HTTPProxyConnection>
        <BasePath>/test/v1</BasePath>
        <Properties/>
        <VirtualHost>default</VirtualHost>
    </HTTPProxyConnection>
    <RouteRule name="default">
        <TargetEndpoint>default</TargetEndpoint>
    </RouteRule>
</ProxyEndpoint>

For more readability, I would like to create a new proxy flow XML -say ProxyEndpoint-2 in my API - which has its own set of flows -conditions (b1) – This proxy XML have the same HTTP Proxy Connections -BasePath.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<ProxyEndpoint name="ProxyEndpoint-2">
    <Description/>
    <FaultRules/>
    <Flows name="b">
       <Flow name ="b1">
           <Condition > b1</Condition>
        </Flow>
    </Flows>  
    <RouteRule name="b1">
        <TargetEndpoint>b1</TargetEndpoint>
    </RouteRule>
</ProxyEndpoint>

When I do this - I am not able to deploy my Proxy.. what I am missing??? How to achieve this

@Murali , You cannot create a flow inside a flow, that’s the reason you see an error. If you need anything like that ,check proxy chaining concept here and here.

Hi Anil,

Actually I am not trying to create a flow inside another flow . If you notice ProxyEndpoint-1.xml and ProxyEndpoint-2.xml . they have their own flow nodes like-a1, a2, b1, b2 & based on condition i would like to execute the respective flow’s..

All I want to achieve here to keep a1,a2 & b1 ,b2 flow nodes in a separate proxy.xml .. based on conditions I want to execute the appropriate flows.. there target can be same or different but base URI will be same for all the flows in the proxy

I see APigee edge has a option to add a new proxy xml in the project. I want to make use of this feature.I don’t want to keep all my flow inside one proxy xml.
