Utility Method for Spring REST
public static HttpServletRequest getCurrentRequest() {
RequestAttributes requestAttributes = RequestContextHolder.getRequestAttributes();
Assert.state(requestAttributes != null, "Could not find current request via RequestContextHolder");
Assert.isInstanceOf(ServletRequestAttributes.class, requestAttributes);
HttpServletRequest servletRequest = ((ServletRequestAttributes) requestAttributes).getRequest();
Assert.state(servletRequest != null, "Could not find current HttpServletRequest");
return servletRequest;
}
Sometimes it’s easier to get the underlying Servlet request to get some headers or variables.
final String userIpAddress = getCurrentRequest().getRemoteAddr();
final String userAgent = getCurrentRequest().getHeader("user-agent");
This is used in the simple REST service using HTTP Post verb @ the awesome CloudFoundry:
