    java.lang.Object

          org.springframework.web.method.annotation.RequestHeaderMethodArgumentResolver

All Implemented Interfaces:
  HandlerMethodArgumentResolver

    public class RequestHeaderMethodArgumentResolver

extends AbstractNamedValueMethodArgumentResolver

Resolves method arguments annotated with `@RequestHeader` except for `Map` arguments. See `RequestHeaderMapMethodArgumentResolver` for details on `Map` arguments annotated with `@RequestHeader`.

An `@RequestHeader` is a named value resolved from a request header. It has a required flag and a default value to fall back on when the request header does not exist.

A `WebDataBinder` is invoked to apply type conversion to resolved request header values that don't yet match the method parameter type.

Constructor Detail

### RequestHeaderMethodArgumentResolver

    public RequestHeaderMethodArgumentResolver(ConfigurableBeanFactory beanFactory)

Parameters:
  `beanFactory` - a bean factory to use for resolving ${...} placeholder and #{...} SpEL expressions in default values; or `null` if default values are not expected to have expressions

Method Detail

### supportsParameter

    public boolean supportsParameter(MethodParameter parameter)

  Description copied from interface: `HandlerMethodArgumentResolver`
  Whether the given method parameter is supported by this resolver.

  Parameters:
    `parameter` - the method parameter to check
  Returns:
    `true` if this resolver supports the supplied parameter; `false` otherwise

### createNamedValueInfo

    protected AbstractNamedValueMethodArgumentResolver.NamedValueInfo createNamedValueInfo(MethodParameter parameter)

  Description copied from class: `AbstractNamedValueMethodArgumentResolver`
  Create the `AbstractNamedValueMethodArgumentResolver.NamedValueInfo` object for the given method parameter. Implementations typically retrieve the method annotation by means of `MethodParameter.getParameterAnnotation(Class)`.

  Specified by:
    `createNamedValueInfo` in class `AbstractNamedValueMethodArgumentResolver`
  Parameters:
    `parameter` - the method parameter
  Returns:
    the named value information

### resolveName

    protected Object resolveName(String name,
                                 MethodParameter parameter,
                                 NativeWebRequest request)
                          throws Exception

  Description copied from class: `AbstractNamedValueMethodArgumentResolver`
  Resolves the given parameter type and value name into an argument value.

  Specified by:
    `resolveName` in class `AbstractNamedValueMethodArgumentResolver`
  Parameters:
    `name` - the name of the value being resolved
    `parameter` - the method parameter to resolve to an argument value
    `request` - the current request
  Returns:
    the resolved argument. May be `null`
  Throws:
    `Exception` - in case of errors

### handleMissingValue

    protected void handleMissingValue(String headerName,
                                      MethodParameter param)
                               throws ServletRequestBindingException

  Description copied from class: `AbstractNamedValueMethodArgumentResolver`
  Invoked when a named value is required, but `AbstractNamedValueMethodArgumentResolver.resolveName(String, MethodParameter, NativeWebRequest)` returned `null` and there is no default value. Subclasses typically throw an exception in this case.

  Specified by:
    `handleMissingValue` in class `AbstractNamedValueMethodArgumentResolver`
  Parameters:
    `headerName` - the name for the value
    `param` - the method parameter
  Throws:
    `ServletRequestBindingException`
