## Class RequestHeaderMethodArgumentResolver

- java.lang.Object
- - org.springframework.web.method.annotation.AbstractNamedValueMethodArgumentResolver
  - - 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.

    --- | ---
    `protected AbstractNamedValueMethodArgumentResolver.NamedValueInfo` | `createNamedValueInfo(MethodParameter parameter)` Create the `AbstractNamedValueMethodArgumentResolver.NamedValueInfo` object for the given method parameter.
    `protected void` | `handleMissingValue(String headerName, MethodParameter param)` Invoked when a named value is required, but `AbstractNamedValueMethodArgumentResolver.resolveName(String, MethodParameter, NativeWebRequest)` returned `null` and there is no default value.
    `protected Object` | `resolveName(String name, MethodParameter parameter, NativeWebRequest request)` Resolves the given parameter type and value name into an argument value.
    `boolean` | `supportsParameter(MethodParameter parameter)` Whether the given method parameter is supported by this resolver.

- - ### 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`
