[FIXED] Spring Interceptor is not compatible with @RepositoryRestResource

Issue

@Component
    public class TestInterceptor implements HandlerInterceptor {
        @Override
        public void afterCompletion(HttpServletRequest arg0, HttpServletResponse arg1, Object arg2, Exception arg3) throws Exception {
            System.out.println("afterCompletion");
        }
        @Override
        public void postHandle(HttpServletRequest arg0, HttpServletResponse arg1, Object arg2, ModelAndView arg3) throws Exception {
            System.out.println("postHandle");
        }
        @Override
        public boolean preHandle(HttpServletRequest arg0, HttpServletResponse arg1, Object arg2) throws Exception {
            System.out.println("preHandle");
            return true;
        }
    }

and

@SpringBootConfiguration
public class AnnotationSecurityConfiguration implements WebMvcConfigurer {
    @Override
    public void addInterceptors(InterceptorRegistry registry) {
        registry.addInterceptor(new TestInterceptor()).addPathPatterns("/api/**");
    }
}

finally the entity is presented as REST using a @RepositoryRestController as follows:

@RepositoryRestResource(excerptProjection = UserSummaryProjection.class)
public interface UserRepository extends JpaRepository<User, Long>, JpaSpecificationExecutor<User> {
}

Then calling

curl -X GET https://localhost:8080/api/v1/users 

but the interceptor is not called.

Because the REST resource is managed Spring Data Rest with @RepositoryRestController the interceptor is not called. But if I write the REST resource with @RestController it will work.

How can I make interceptors work with @RepositoryRestController?

Solution

I got it working (on / context path, and a simple User class, spring-boot v2.4.2) with the following config/spring-boot app:

...
import org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.MappedInterceptor
...    

@SpringBootApplication
public class DemoApplication {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(DemoApplication.class, args);
    }
       
    @Bean
    public org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.MappedInterceptor myInterceptor() {
        return new MappedInterceptor(
                new String[]{"/users/**"},  // null => maps to any repository/path
                new MyInterceptorImpl()
        );
    }

    private class MyInterceptorImpl implements HandlerInterceptor  {
         @Override
        public boolean preHandle(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, Object handler) throws Exception {
            System.out.println("preHandle");
            return true;
        }

        @Override
        public void postHandle(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, Object handler, ModelAndView modelAndView) throws Exception {
            System.out.println("postHandle");
        }

        @Override
        public void afterCompletion(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, Object handler, Exception ex) throws Exception {
           System.out.println("afterCompletion");
        }
    }
}

I used a simplified:

@RepositoryRestResource
public interface UserRepository extends JpaRepository<User, Long>, JpaSpecificationExecutor<User> { }
