Spring request response send null value

Hi i built a backend with Spring and was thinking about whats the best solution in this case:

I normally respond a request with a pojo with some data. But when the requesting user is not authorized i respond with null, what seems to be a ugly way.

I thought it could be the better way, to return a response entity http unauthorized but the return type is the data pojo.

Maybe i have to change my security config and must! filter the users before the controller method is called?

Yes, You should validate the request before calling the Controllers by creating Interceptor.You can use JWT tokens for validations.If the user is unauthorised application should respond with Unauthorised.
