How do I get a HttpServletRequest in my spring beans?

If FlexContext is not available:

Solution 1: inside method (>= Spring 2.0 required)

HttpServletRequest request = 
        ((ServletRequestAttributes)RequestContextHolder.getRequestAttributes())
                .getRequest();

Solution 2: inside bean (supported by >= 2.5, Spring 3.0 for singelton beans required!)

@Autowired
private HttpServletRequest request;
