retrieving current Http Request from a Spring Bean

[cyrille37]

Hello,

I would like to retrieve the HTTP request from a Spring Bean if it is running in a WebApplicationContext.

With ApplicationContextAware I've got an ApplicationContext and after casting a WebApplicationContext and could like that get the ServletContext.

But I could not find how to retreive the current http request. Is it possible ?

I know it is a strange need, but if it is possible I'll use it for testing purpose.
Thanks
Cyrille

No, not directly. You can use RequestContextListener and RequestContextHolder, retrieve currentRequestAttributes() from the latter where RequestAttributes is a Spring interface. If that's not sufficient you can cast it to ServletRequestAttributes and call getRequest() on it to have access to the HttpServletRequest.

What is it that you want to do with the HttpSession?
