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;

This is kind of Flex/BlazeDS specific, but here's the solution I've come up with. Sorry if answering my own question is a faux pas.

    HttpServletRequest request = flex.messaging.FlexContext.getHttpRequest();

    Cookie[] cookies = request.getCookies();

    for (Cookie c:cookies)
    {
        log.debug(String.format("Cookie: %s, %s, domain: %s",c.getName(), c.getValue(),c.getDomain()));
    }

It works, I get the cookies. My problem was looking to Spring - BlazeDS had it. Spring probably does too, but I still don't know how to get to it.

@eeezyy's answer didn't work for me, although I'm using Spring Boot (2.0.4) and it may differ, but a variation here in 2018 works thus:

@Autowired
private HttpServletRequest request;

this should do it

((ServletRequestAttributes)RequestContextHolder.getRequestAttributes()).getRequest().getRequestURI();

The @Context annotation (see answers in this question :What does context annotation do in Spring?) will cause it to be injected for you.

I had to use

@Context
private HttpServletRequest request;

Better way is to autowire with a constructor:

private final HttpServletRequest httpServletRequest;

public ClassConstructor(HttpServletRequest httpServletRequest){
      this.httpServletRequest = httpServletRequest;
}
