get HttpServletRequest from java class

[Farhan Jan]

code:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm trying to get " HttpServletRequest" object and then "remoteAddr()" method.
How can I get access to my HttpServletRequest, form within a normal java class, not in servlet class itself.


Here is the code I tried to use,



RequestAttributes requestAttributes = RequestContextHolder.getRequestAttributes();
if (requestAttributes instanceof ServletRequestAttributes) {
HttpServletRequest request = ((ServletRequestAttributes)requestAttributes).getRequest();

String rhost = request.getRemoteHost();
String raddr = request.getRemoteAddr();
int rport = request.getRemotePort();

String lhost = request.getLocalName();
String laddr = request.getLocalAddr();
int lport = request.getLocalPort();
}


I am using

import org.springframework.web.context.request.RequestContextHolder;
import org.springframework.web.context.request.RequestAttributes;
import org.springframework.web.context.request.ServletRequestAttributes;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;





but here the


ServletRequestAttributes.getRequest();

is protected!


I need some guidance here!
thanks!

Pass a reference from the servlet to the Java class.

Pass a reference from the servlet to the Java class.

I cant do so,
Actually request is in jsp page, which is a "login page" from there control goes to a security class, whose implementation i cnat see or change.

after passing through th security mechanism, control comes to my java class, where i need to get IP of caller.

so i need to to somehow get request object here!

Please help me here!

Can you describe how control is being passed from your JSP to the security class and then from the security class to your Java object?
