how to get controller method name in Spring Interceptor preHandle method - spring-mvc

Question

In my application based on spring mvc and spring security I am using #Controller annotation to configure controller.
I have configured Spring Handler Interceptor and in preHandle() method , I want to get method name which is going to be call by interceptor.
I want to get custom annotation defined on controller method in preHandle() method of HandlerInterceptor so that I can manage by logging activity for that particular method.
Please have a look at my application requirement and code
#Controller
public class ConsoleUserManagementController{
#RequestMapping(value = CONSOLE_NAMESPACE + "/account/changePassword.do", method = RequestMethod.GET)
#doLog(true)
public ModelAndView showChangePasswordPage() {
String returnView = USERMANAGEMENT_NAMESPACE + "/account/ChangePassword";
ModelAndView mavChangePassword = new ModelAndView(returnView);
LogUtils.logInfo("Getting Change Password service prerequisit attributes");
mavChangePassword.getModelMap().put("passwordModel", new PasswordModel());
return mavChangePassword;
}
}
public boolean preHandle(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, Object handler) throws Exception {
// here I want the controller method name(i.e showChangePasswordPage()
// for /account/changePassword.do url ) to be called and that method annotation
// (i.e doLog() ) so that by viewing annotation , I can manage whether for that
// particular controller method, whether to enable logging or not.
}
I am using SPRING 3.0 in my application

Don't know about the Handler interceptor, but you could try to use Aspects and create a general interceptor for all your controller methods.
Using aspects, it would be easy to access your joinpoint method name.
You can inject the request object inside your aspect or use:
HttpServletRequest request = ((ServletRequestAttributes)RequestContextHolder.getRequestAttributes()).getRequest();
To retrieve it from your advice method.
For instance:
#Around("execution (* com.yourpackages.controllers.*.*(..)) && #annotation(org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping)")
public Object doSomething(ProceedingJoinPoint pjp){
pjp.getSignature().getDeclaringType().getName();
}
