Getting HttpServletRequest from RequestContextHolder in Spring

[Prams Kulkarni]

Hi, I'm trying to get the HttpServletRequest from RequestContextHolder using Spring MVC.

HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) RequestContextHolder
				.getRequestContext().getExternalContext().getNativeRequest();

But while running test cases during the build of the application I'm getting following ClassCastException

java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.Object cannot be cast to javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest

Is there a way to get the HttpServletRequest from the RequestContextHolder in spring.
