HttpServletRequest attributes statically (threadlocal) available?

[Roland Blochberger, geändert vor 15 Jahren.]

Is there a way to obtain attributes from the HttpServletRequest (or PortletRequest) in a static way? I would need the request Locale outside the typical Struts/Servlet classes but inside their processing sequence. (see also Locale dependent view permission for pages

After a valuable hint from Stanislav Mores I could solve the problem by putting the user's selected Locale into a ThreadLocal Singleton. This is done in an Action class that is configured to run first in the list of servlet.service.events.pre. The methods of the extended PermissionChecker can obtain the Locale from the Singleton whenever it is needed.

Hi Roland,

I'm attempting to do something similar. Could you provide any insights on how you did this? Any help you could provide would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Brian
