Customizable naming support for setter/field for data binding from request headers #34062
Closed as not planned
Description
Hi,
Data binding for request headers works from spring web 6.2.0 on. But setter method naming (so relatively field name) must match with request header name. This could lead to a bug easily if anyone changes the field name.
Could you support annotations on field/setter?

Actual
If we change the name to a different one than a, binding is not done because field name and header name must match.
Class binding is supported.
public class RequestHeadersClass {
private String a; // if we change the name to a different one than 'a', binding is not done because field name and header name must match.
public void setA(String a) {
this.a = a;
}
@Override
public String toString() {
return "RequestHeadersClass{" +
"a='" + a + '\'' +
'}';
}
}But record is not supported yet.
public record RequestHeaders(@RequestHeader String a) {}Desired
public class RequestHeadersClass {
@ParamName("a")
private String <anything you want>;
public void setA(String a) {
this.a = a;
}
@Override
public String toString() {
return "RequestHeadersClass{" +
"a='" + a + '\'' +
'}';
}
}
