All Implemented Interfaces:

Filter, BeanNameAware, DisposableBean, InitializingBean, ServletContextAware

public class RequestContextFilter
extends OncePerRequestFilter

Servlet 2.3 Filter that exposes the request to the current thread, through both LocaleContextHolder and RequestContextHolder. To be registered as filter in web.xml.

Alternatively, Spring's RequestContextListener and Spring's DispatcherServlet also expose the same request context to the current thread.

This filter is mainly for use with third-party servlets, e.g. the JSF FacesServlet. Within Spring's own web support, DispatcherServlet's processing is perfectly sufficient.

Since:

2.0
