From a bean that I only pass HttpServletRequest into, how can I obtain a reference to it's corresponding ServletContext? I want the bean to be able to get at the ServletContext.getInitialParameter() method.
No such method session.getServletContext() for servlet 2.2 API. I've already scanned the javax.servlet... API and there is no direct route to get the servletContext. Surely there must be another way?
I posted a similar question a while back. The getServletContext() method on HttpSession is new in Servlet 2.3. Apparently under 2.2 there's no way to get the context given just a request, and we must resort to passing it around with the request, or adding it to the request as an attribute before passing the request around.
