Interceptor not working in Spring Data REST URLs [DATAREST-1155]

Andre Rocha opened DATAREST-1155 and commented

I am working on a project with Spring Data Rest and JPA and I am trying to configure an HTTP interceptor to configure switch the tenant depending on the HTTP request header. As per the reference docs, available in Spring Web MVC Docs - Handler Mapping Interceptor, I created a component that extends HandlerInterceptorAdapter as follows:

@Component
public class DBEditorTenantInterceptor extends HandlerInterceptorAdapter {

Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(DBEditorTenantInterceptor.class);

@Override
public boolean preHandle(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, Object handler)
    throws Exception {
     logger.debug("********** INTERCEPTION SUCCESSFUL **********");
     return true;
}

}
And then, registered the interceptor by extending WebMvcConfig (as explained in Spring Web MVC Docs - Config Interceptors

@Configuration
public class WebMvcConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {

@Autowired
DBEditorTenantInterceptor dbEditorTenantInterceptor;

@Override
public void addInterceptors(InterceptorRegistry registry) {
     registry.addInterceptor(dbEditorTenantInterceptor)
     .addPathPatterns("/**");
}

}
When I issue HTTP requests to any URL that is not used by Spring Data REST such as /helloworld the Interceptor works as expected, as I see the logger output

017-10-26 13:16:24.689 DEBUG 17012 --- [p-nio-80-exec-4] c.c.v.d.DBEditorTenantInterceptor : ********** INTERCEPTION SUCCESSFUL **********
However, when the URL is used by spring data rest, my interceptor is not called. This applies to all URLs like /api/{existing entity in model}

Why is my interceptor not called for Spring Data Rest URLs ? What can I do to make my interceptor work for all requests ?

Thanks a lot in advance.
