Package org.springframework.web.context.request

Class RequestContextListener

java.lang.Object
org.springframework.web.context.request.RequestContextListener
All Implemented Interfaces:
ServletRequestListener, EventListener
public class RequestContextListener extends Object implements ServletRequestListener
Servlet listener that exposes the request to the current thread, through both LocaleContextHolder and RequestContextHolder. To be registered as listener in web.xml.

Alternatively, Spring's RequestContextFilter and Spring's DispatcherServlet also expose the same request context to the current thread. In contrast to this listener, advanced options are available there (e.g. "threadContextInheritable").

This listener 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.
