## org.springframework.web.context.request
Class RequestContextListener

    java.lang.Object
      org.springframework.web.context.request.RequestContextListener

All Implemented Interfaces:
  EventListener, ServletRequestListener

    public class RequestContextListener

extends Object
implements ServletRequestListener

Servlet 2.4+ listener that exposes the request to the current thread, through both `LocaleContextHolder` and `RequestContextHolder`. To be registered as listener in `web.xml`.

Alternatively, Spring's `RequestContextFilter` and Spring's `DispatcherServlet` also expose the same request context to the current thread. In contrast to this listener, advanced options are available there (e.g. "threadContextInheritable").

This listener is mainly for use with third-party servlets, e.g. the JSF FacesServlet. Within Spring's own web support, DispatcherServlet's processing is perfectly sufficient.
