I have an web application server running tomcat and i need to publish my APIs to internet users. However I don't have a domain name for this server and I can only put the ip address of this server (e.g. 145.XXX.XXX.XXX) to point out where my API xml files are located.
I have another web server running with a domain name "http://www.webserver.com" registered on the internet and I want to make use of its domain name to server my web application server API xml files location. How can I do that? using "www.webserver.com/api" or using "api.webserver.com"? which is better?
Also I wonder if I want to publish a "rstp://145.XXX.XXX.XXX" web link for video streaming purpose, can I use "rstp://www.webserver.com/api" to replace it and how to do it? I always thought the url contain domain sub-directory name cannot point to another IP address, it only can point to another folder location on the webserver itself.

I don't think you can do this with a subdirectory, since you'd only be able to do a redirect and that is not what you require. As you mention, a sub directory cannot point to another IP address.
However, you could perhaps use a subdomain, of the form api.webserver.com and set up a DNS "A" record for this subdomain in the webserver.com DNS zone that points to the alternative IP address. For example:
api.webserver.com. 14400 IN A 145.XXX.XXX.XXX
