Wrong Header of the API versioning of the Post Request does not come to handleNoHandlerFoundException? - spring

Question

I am using Spring Boot v2.1.7 + HATEOAS + Spring Rest + Spring Security. When consumer doesn't pass the correct Custom Header in the request, say passes X-Accept-Version=v5, it gives me below error.
Error:

Code:
#PostMapping(path = "/employee-types", headers = {X-Accept-Version=v1})
public ResponseEntity<Integer> saveEmployeeType(#Valid #RequestBody EmployeeDto employeeDto) {
.....
......
......
return new ResponseEntity<>(HttpStatus.OK);
}
Why its not coming to handleNoHandlerFoundException of the #ControllerAdvice ?
#Override
protected ResponseEntity<Object> handleNoHandlerFoundException(NoHandlerFoundException ex, HttpHeaders headers,
HttpStatus status, WebRequest request) {
...................
return handleExceptionInternal(ex, error, getHeaders(), HttpStatus.BAD_REQUEST, request);
}

I was able to solve this issue by taking a reference from : How to set default value of exported as false in rest resource spring data rest.
By adding below logic, it works greatly.
#Component
public class SpringRestConfiguration extends RepositoryRestConfigurerAdapter {
#Override
public void configureRepositoryRestConfiguration(RepositoryRestConfiguration config) {
config.setRepositoryDetectionStrategy(RepositoryDetectionStrategy.RepositoryDetectionStrategies.ANNOTATED);
config.setExposeRepositoryMethodsByDefault(false);
}
}
