In Struts 2 , you can use the following two methods to get the HttpServletRequest object.
1. ServletActionContext
Get the HttpServletRequest object directly from org.apache.struts2.ServletActionContext.
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import org.apache.struts2.ServletActionContext;
public class LocaleAction{
//business logic
public String execute() {
HttpServletRequest request = ServletActionContext.getRequest();
return "SUCCESS";
}
}
2. ServletRequestAware
Make your class implements the org.apache.struts2.interceptor.ServletRequestAware.
When Struts 2 ‘ servlet-config‘ interceptor is seeing that an Action class is implemented the ServletRequestAware interface, it will pass a HttpServletRequest reference to the requested Action class via the setServletRequest() method.import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import org.apache.struts2.interceptor.ServletRequestAware;
public class LocaleAction implements ServletRequestAware{
HttpServletRequest request;
//business logic
public String execute() {
String param = getServletRequest().getParameter("param");
return "SUCCESS";
}
public void setServletRequest(HttpServletRequest request) {
this.request = request;
}
public HttpServletRequest getServletRequest() {
return this.request;
}
}
Struts 2 documentation is recommended ServletRequestAware instead of ServletActionContext.
