how can I get the current Bearer token of my request?

I am trying to do something relatively simple.

I have a request that receives an oauth token (Bearer asdf22324...) I need it to pass it to my feign client to be able to request another service using the same token.

Is it possible to do that? Any ideas/examples?

I have tried this way:

@PostMapping("/login")
ResponseEntity<Void> loginUser(@RequestHeader("Authorization") String authHeader);

But authHeader is always empty...

I also tried the interceptor, but I'm not sure how it would affect others (and not sure how to invoke it either).

Ideas?

May be you can try implementing the Filter (say TokenFilter) and inside it you can read the Authorization header from the HttpServletRequest and extract the token.

String authTokenHeader = request.getHeader("Authorization");

// parse the token
// there can be type of token passed. So you may need to take the substring after the type and the whitespace. Eg: Bearer <TOKEN>
