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

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);
    }
}
