Handler Path

Use handler paths to select the handler chain for an incoming gateway request.

Each path entry matches a request by HTTP method and path. The exec list names the chain or handlers to run.

Supported path patterns:

• exact path, such as /customers
• path template, such as /customers/{customerId}
• trailing wildcard, such as /customers/* or /*

Examples:

paths:
  - path: /customers/{customerId}
    method: GET
    exec:
      - apiChain
  - path: /customers/*
    method: GET
    exec:
      - apiChain
  - path: /*
    method: POST
    exec:
      - apiChain

Important behavior:

• /customers matches only /customers
• /customers/{customerId} matches one segment after /customers
• /customers/* matches /customers and any deeper path under /customers
• /* matches any path for the configured method

For sidecar API proxy routes, point the matching API methods to the API proxy chain.
