Spring boot and checking HTTP header presence

I send along every REST call my custom header, which is (for instance) an authorization token. This token remains the same, as I do not need high security in this case. Can I use some simple way how to check every request coming to RestController whether it has this token among headers?

I can see a few ways:

  1. Coding a @ModelAttribute in a @ControllerAdvice class, like this

    @ControllerAdvice
public class HeaderFetcher {

    @ModelAttribute
    public void fetchHeader(@RequestHeader Optional<String> myHeader, Model model) {
      if header is present
        model.addAttribute("myHeader", the header);
      else
        throw exception
    }

}

    Haven't tried this, though.

  2. Using a filter
  3. Using AoP
