Is there a way to retrieve the published content from broker DB by passing the page url as one of the query string parameter?

Lets say i have a published page with path "http://host:port/AAA/index.jsp"

can i pass the "uri=/AAA/index.jsp" as a parameter to odata request? Though I dont see url as one of the defined type, just wanted to see is there any workaround for this.

I think by 'defined types' you mean the Collections available to query in the odata service. These are called "Entities" in the OData protocol, but in these collections, what we have are units of information (Items) inside the Broker Database to be queried.

If you are trying to obtain a certain Page, using the url in the request to the odata service, the solution may be the use one of the "Query options" in the OData standard, for example the "$filter" element in the odata request, something like the following url, gives a result of the Page published with a certain url:

http://your_server:port/odata_webservice/odata.svc/Pages?$filter=(Url%20eq%20%27/AAA/index.jsp%27)

And if you want to access the published content in that Page, then you can use another "query option" of OData protocol like "$expand"

http://your_server:port/odata_webservice/odata.svc/Pages?$filter=(Url%20eq%20%27/AAA/index.jsp%27)&$expand=PageConent

or

http://your_server:port/odata_webservice/odata.svc/Pages?$filter=(Url%20eq%20%27/AAA/index.jsp%27)&$expand=ComponentPresentations

It's important to note that the OData service implemented in Tridion is a partial implementation of the OData Protocol.
