RequestParam 和 PathVariable 上的自定义注释

Question

I have created a custom annotation

annotation class UserControl(
    val userIdentifier: String
)

I wan to apply this annotation on query parameters, and path variables in different controllers.

    fun userWithMobile(
        @UserControl("PhoneNumber")
        @RequestParam mobile: String
    ): RegisteredUser {
        return userManager.getUserWithPhoneNumber(mobile))
    }

How can i check if the query parameters have the UserControl annotation or not, and do some processing on that. Is there standard way to write a global handler, or a processor for that?

Would appreciate any help

AspectJ can directly match parameter annotations, but not bind them to advice method values like class or method annotations. So if you only want to match them, a simple pointcut is enough. If you want to access the annotations and maybe their parameter values, you need a little bit of reflection magic. I have answered related questions many times already, which is why I am going to close this one as a duplicate. But first, here are the resources you want to read. They all related to your question, showing examples of how to handle different specific situations:

Basically, the pointcut you want the following or some variation of it:

execution(* *(.., @my.package.UserControl (*), ..))

The naive, less efficient approach without matching the parameter in the pointcut, using only relfection:
