Answer 1

HandlerInterceptors can be applied or excluded to (multiple) specific url's or url-patterns.

See the MVC Interceptor Configuration.

Here are the examples from the documentation

@Configuration
@EnableWebMvc
public class WebConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {

    @Override
    public void addInterceptors(InterceptorRegistry registry) {
        registry.addInterceptor(new LocaleInterceptor());
        registry.addInterceptor(new ThemeInterceptor()).addPathPatterns("/**").excludePathPatterns("/admin/**");

        // multiple urls (same is possible for `exludePathPatterns`)
        registry.addInterceptor(new SecurityInterceptor()).addPathPatterns("/secure/*", "/admin/**", "/profile/**");
    }
}

or using XML config
