Description

Summary

We have quite a few places where we are resolving APIs. OAuth2AuthorizationRequestResolver, SAML is adding a resolver, JWT is adding one.

We should consider create a generic resolver that takes input of HttpServletRequest and a separate one for ServerWebExchange and outputs <T>.

There are also places where we use Function.

There are other places we use Converter.

We need to find consistency throughout the code.

Research direction

Start by comparing OAuth2AuthorizationRequestResolver with the SAML and JWT resolvers mentioned in the issue, then review the existing uses of Function and Converter. Determine a consistent generic resolver shape for HttpServletRequest and ServerWebExchange that produces T; done means the relevant resolver patterns use that consistent approach.
