      This implementation always returns `true`.
      Specified by:
        `preHandle` in interface `HandlerInterceptor`

        `preHandle` in class `HandlerInterceptorAdapter`
      Parameters:
        `request` - current HTTP request
        `response` - current HTTP response
        `handler` - chosen handler to execute, for type and/or instance evaluation
      Returns:
