How to write routing.yml when you have more than two query to omit

I have routing like this.

acme_apiByDate_homepage:
    pattern: /api/byDate/{date}/{page}/{limit}
    defaults: { _controller: AcmeTopBundle:Api:byDate,date:"",page:0,limit:50, _format: xml  }

normal URL is like this

/api/byDate/2013-04-12/0/40

However sometimes I would like to omit the date.

But, this shows error

/api/byDate//0/40

I know I can omit the last parameter, but I want to omit the middle parameter.

How can I make it?

You can change route parameters like that:

acme_apiByDate_homepage:
    pattern: /api/byDate/{page}/{limit}/{date}
    defaults: { _controller: AcmeTopBundle:Api:byDate, page:0, limit:50, date: null, _format: xml }

And add in your controller:

byDateAction($page, $limit, $date = null)
{
}

If null for route and controller doesn't work try an empty string.

UPDATE:

You can also define more routes for same action like:

api_data_by_date:
    pattern: /api/byDate/{date}/{page}/{limit}
    defaults: { _controller: AcmeTopBundle:Api:getData, page:0, limit:50, date: null, _format: xml }

api_data_by_page:
    pattern: /api/byPage/{page}/{date}/{limit}
    defaults: { _controller: AcmeTopBundle:Api:getData, page:0, limit:50, date: null, _format: xml }

api_data_by_limit:
    pattern: /api/byLimit/{limit}/{page}/{date}
    defaults: { _controller: AcmeTopBundle:Api:getData, page:0, limit:50, date: null, _format: xml }

Or, you could add some requirements for parameters, example:

api_data_by_date:
    pattern: /api/getData/{date}/{limit}/{page}
    defaults: { _controller: AcmeTopBundle:Api:getData, page:0, limit:50, date: 2013-04-12, _format: xml }
requirements:
    date:  [0-9]{4}\-[0-9]{2}\-[0-9]{2}
    page:  \d+
    limit: \d+

Or try:

api_data_by_date:
    pattern: /api-d-{date}-l-{limit}-p-{page}
    defaults: { _controller: AcmeTopBundle:Api:getData, page:0, limit:50, date: 2013-04-12, _format: xml }
requirements:
    date:  [0-9]{4}\-[0-9]{2}\-[0-9]{2}
    page:  \d+
    limit: \d+
