Class Request

java.lang.Object
org.apache.coyote.Request

public final class Request extends Object
This is a low-level, efficient representation of a server request. Most fields are GC-free, expensive operations are delayed until the user code needs the information. Processing is delegated to modules, using a hook mechanism. This class is not intended for user code - it is used internally by tomcat for processing the request in the most efficient way. Users ( servlets ) can access the information using a facade, which provides the high-level view of the request. Tomcat defines a number of attributes:
  • "org.apache.tomcat.request" - allows access to the low-level request object in trusted applications
