Description
MethodAuthorizationDeniedHandler is an interface with a single non-default method, therefore it can be implemented by a lambda. However, HandleAuthorizationDenied can only reference a handler by class, excluding lambdas.
I would like HandleAuthorizationDenied to have an additional parameter String handler() default "" so that this is possible:
@Configuration
@EnableMethodSecurity
class MyConfiguration {
@Bean
MethodAuthorizationDeniedHandler emptyListHandler() {
return (invocation, result) -> List.of();
}
}
class Account {
String name;
@PreAuthorize("hasRole('DETAILS')")
@HandleAuthorizationDenied(handler = "emptyListHandler")
List<String> details;
}
Even better if the handler name could be interpolated from a property or a spel expression.

Research direction
Start with the HandleAuthorizationDenied annotation and the MethodAuthorizationDeniedHandler interface described in the issue. Trace how HandleAuthorizationDenied resolves handlers by class, then determine the supported configuration path for a bean name and whether property or SpEL interpolation is in scope. Done means a lambda handler can be selected by the handler name shown in the example, with the requested behavior covered by tests.
