I know I can get a header via method parameters via the @RequestHeader annotation as shown in this answer How to get access to HTTP header information in Spring MVC REST controller?; however, if I am using the same header for ever single method, this will get tedious. I am looking how to get the header information from a private utility method; not a http exposed method

I would like to do something like this:

@RestController
public class MyController {

     private Identity getIdentity(){
         Token token = ParseToken(headers.get("Authorization"));
         token.verify("secret");
         return new User(token.name);
         ...

Is something like this possible? Or am I barking up the wrong tree altogether?

@Deadpool not a duplicate. I specifically said I knew I could get this information by passing it into the method via the RequestHeader annoation as in the link you posed; I want to do it a different way – TheCatWhisperer Nov 25 '19 at 18:05
It is a duplicate, see some of the other answers that show how to get the `HttpHeaders` object instead of a specific header. There are no other solutions that I'm aware of. – Mark Rotteveel Nov 25 '19 at 18:20
Every single answer required passing the headers in through the http methods – TheCatWhisperer Nov 25 '19 at 18:33

Probably You can achieve it using Handler Interceptors. – Ramu Nov 25 '19 at 19:54
How did you solved this problem @TheCatWhisperer? – OctavioCega Oct 30 '20 at 08:32
