Get header from request in service layer of Spring Boot application

Is there any way in spring boot to grab header from request in any point of application? Some static stuff will be great.

Please, be aware that @RequestHeader does not work for me since I need this value on service layer.

You can inject HttpServletRequest object in your service layer like this :

@Autowired
HttpServletRequest request;

private void method() {
  request.getHeader("headerName");
}

but remember, that bean HttpServletRequest has HTTP request scope. So, you can't inject that into asynchronous methods etc, because it will throw Runtime Exception.

hope it helps.

I was searching the same question before, i found out that you can use header parameters in the RestController methods with @RequestHeader as you said. So why not direct them into your service layer methods:

@Autowired
ServiceLayerObj serviceLayerObj;
...
@RequestMapping
public YourReturnObj someRestServiceMethod(
    @RequestBody SomeObj body,
    @RequestHeader(value = "username") String username
){
    return serviceLayerObj.yourServiceLayerMethod(body,username);
}
