====
Note that the `postHandle` method of `HandlerInterceptor` is not always ideally suited for
use with `@ResponseBody` and `ResponseEntity` methods. In such cases an `HttpMessageConverter`
writes to and commits the response before `postHandle` is called which makes it impossible
to change the response, for example to add a header. Instead an application can implement
`ResponseBodyAdvice` and either declare it as an `@ControllerAdvice` bean or configure it
directly on `RequestMappingHandlerAdapter`.
