How to get HttpServletRequest object inside a controller

Question

I've written a controller class and an action method like the

@Controller
public class Controller
{
    @RequestParam("/test.htm")
    public String action(Model model)
    {
         //Something
    }
}

You can get the instance of HttpServletRequest by passing a reference in your action method:

@Controller
public class Controller
{
    @RequestParam("/test.htm")
    public String action(Model model, HttpServletRequest request)
    {
        //Something
        try {
            request.getParameter("user_name"); //write in try-catch block
        } catch(ServletException ex) {
        }
    }
}

Spring MVC readily avails HttpServletRequest , HttpServletResponse and many other classes for processing:

Directly add HttpServletRequest in your method argument as below :

@RequestParam("/test.htm")
public String action(Model model ,  HttpServletRequest request)
{
     //Something
}
