Class HttpServletRequestWrapper

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    HttpServletRequest, ServletRequest
    public class HttpServletRequestWrapper

implements HttpServletRequest
    Provides a convenient implementation of the HttpServletRequest interface that can be subclassed by developers wishing to adapt the request to a Servlet.

    This class implements the Wrapper or Decorator pattern. Methods default to calling through to the wrapped request object.
