Missing request header 'authToken' calling RestAPI method - rest

Question

I have this RestAPI method
#GetMapping(path = "/menus",
consumes = "application/json",
produces = "application/json")
public ResponseEntity<List<MenuPriceSummary>> allMenus(HttpServletRequest request, #RequestHeader(value="Authorization: Bearer") String authToken) {
String username = jwtTokenUtil.getUsernameFromToken(authToken);
User user = userService.findByUserName(username);
return ResponseEntity.ok(menuService.allMenus(user));
}
which I call from curl
curl -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzUxMiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJsb3Blei5hbnRvbmlvODVAZ21haWwuY29tIiwiZXhwIjoxNTk0MTkzNDYwLCJpYXQiOjE1MzM3MsM0NjB9.9pXvdiRMM5fjE4Ur5nqKvwvRLmNWyn6tY6y5fPXOg_BWEW2sJ8vnrLTXPfiA-Sc6Qk2XTwi6FhlIhFEQKip4aQ" "http://127.0.0.1:1133/canPeris/api/v1/users/menus"

Answer 1

You can't use #RequestHeader that way. The values from the headers get split up by : and added to a Map, so every value containing a : is impossible.
You will have to change your annotation to #RequestHeader(value="Authorization") and then remove the Bearer from the authToken.

Answer 2

Spring MVC provides annotation #RequestHeader that can be used to map controller parameter to request header value .
Can you please change your method to
#GetMapping(path = "/menus",
consumes = "application/json",
produces = "application/json")
public ResponseEntity<List<MenuPriceSummary>> allMenus(
#RequestHeader(value="Authorization") String authToken,
HttpServletRequest request) {
String username = jwtTokenUtil.getUsernameFromToken(authToken);
User user = userService.findByUserName(username);
return ResponseEntity.ok(menuService.allMenus(user));
}
You can also make use of Interceptors to validate headers so that other rest endpoints in your application can make use of it .
