what are you trying to do here? are you trying to get the username? why do you want to use HTTP ServletRequest ? Which portal are you using? I found something for liferay here

Use following method to get HttpServletRequest

public static HttpServletRequest getHttpServletRequest(final PortletRequest request) {
        return (HttpServletRequest) request.getAttribute("javax.servlet.request");
}

Hope this helps.

I use the following code to get the HttpServletRequest and it is working fine

   ExternalContext extcontext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext();
   PortletRequest portletRequest = (PortletRequest) extcontext.getRequest();
   HttpServletRequest httpServletRequest = PortalUtil.getOriginalServletRequest(PortalUtil.getHttpServletRequest(portletRequest));
