Access DispatcherServlet in a GenericFilterBean

[Jerret Halter]

I was wondering is it possible to retrieve the DispatcherServlet? What I am trying to do is go through a filter first, then servlet that uses DispatcherServlet. For example from my web.xml

    
 
<servlet>
<servlet-name>spring</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>
org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet
</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
 
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>spring</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
 
<filter>
    <filter-name>servletPathLocaleChangeFilter</filter-name>
    <filter-class>
    ServletPathLocaleChangeFilter
    </filter-class>
    </filter>
 
<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>servletPathLocaleChangeFilter</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern>
    </filter-mapping>
 

I need to use RequestContextUtils in ServletPathLocaleChangeFilter in order to reterive local information.

I need to use RequestContextUtils in ServletPathLocaleChangeFilter in order to reterive local information.

RequestContextUtils only contains static methods that you can call directly. Why do you need the dispatcher servlet?
