passing HttpRequest info to aspect.

[burki]

Hi everybody,

I use spring at business and data layers (JPA + hibernate) but not at web layer (not using Spring MVC). At web layer, Java Page Flow /JPF) is used instead.

I have an AOP aspect to trace transactions at business and dao layers,
it is configured to execute when a service or dao method executes.

But it is required that user info must also be logged. But the problem is business and dao layers doesn't "know" HttpRequest/Session object that holds user information (request.getRemoteUser())

Do you have any idea to pass this info to business layer ?

One option might be to inject a session- or request-scoped bean containing user information. See here for an example:

Thanks for your reply. It's definetely working...

This is the solution:
after adding this listener to web.xml :

<listener>
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.request.RequestContextListener</listener-class>
</listener>

it is possible to reach HttpRequest and HttpSession objects.

I can reach the user by this statement:

ServletRequestAttributes requestAttributes = ((ServletRequestAttributes) RequestContextHolder.getRequestAttributes());
String userName = requestAttributes.getRequest().getRemoteUser();

as always Spring has a solution.
