Spring AOP: How to read path variable value from URI template in aspect?

Question

I want to create Spring aspect which would set method parameter, annotated by custom annotation, to an instance of a particular class identified by an id from URI template. Path variable name is parameter of the annotation. Very similar to what Spring @PathVariable does.

So that controller method would look like:

@RestController
@RequestMapping("/testController")
public class TestController {

    @RequestMapping(value = "/order/{orderId}/delete", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public ResponseEntity<?> doSomething(
            @GetOrder("orderId") Order order) {

        // do something with order
    }

}

Instead of classic:

@RestController
@RequestMapping("/testController")
public class TestController {

    @RequestMapping(value = "/order/{orderId}/delete", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public ResponseEntity<?> doSomething(
            @PathVariable("orderId") Long orderId) {

        Order order = orderRepository.findById(orderId);
        // do something with order
    }
}

Annotation source:

// Annotation
@Target(ElementType.PARAMETER)
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
public @interface GetOrder{

    String value() default "";
}

Aspect source:

// Aspect controlled by the annotation
@Aspect
@Component
public class GetOrderAspect {

    @Around( // Assume the setOrder method is called around controller method )
    public Object setOrder(ProceedingJoinPoint jp) throws Throwable{

        MethodSignature signature = (MethodSignature) jp.getSignature();
        @SuppressWarnings("rawtypes")
        Class[] types = signature.getParameterTypes();
        Method method = signature.getMethod();
        Annotation[][] annotations = method.getParameterAnnotations();
        Object[] values = jp.getArgs();

        for (int parameter = 0; parameter < types.length; parameter++) {
            Annotation[] parameterAnnotations = annotations[parameter];
            if (parameterAnnotations == null) continue;

            for (Annotation annotation: parameterAnnotations) {
                // Annotation is instance of @GetOrder
                if (annotation instanceof GetOrder) {
                    String pathVariable = (GetOrder)annotation.value();                        

                    // How to read actual path variable value from URI template?
                    // In this example case {orderId} from /testController/order/{orderId}/delete

                    HttpServletRequest request = ((ServletRequestAttributes)RequestContextHolder
                            .currentRequestAttributes()).getRequest();
                    ????? // Now what?

                }
           } // for each annotation
        } // for each parameter
        return jp.proceed();
    }
}

Answer given by Mike Wojtyna answers the question -> thus it is accepted.

Answer given by OrangeDog solves the problem form different perspective with existing Spring tools without risking implementation issue with new aspect. If I knew it before, this question would not be asked.

Thank you!

If you already have access to HttpServletRequest, you can use HandlerMapping.URI_TEMPLATE_VARIABLES_ATTRIBUTE spring template to select map of all attributes in the request. You can use it like that:

request.getAttribute(HandlerMapping.URI_TEMPLATE_VARIABLES_ATTRIBUTE)

The result is a Map instance (unfortunately you need to cast to it), so you can iterate over it and get all the parameters you need.
