Spring: how do I inject an HttpServletRequest into a request-scoped bean?

Question

I'm trying to set up a request-scoped bean in Spring.

I've successfully set it up so the bean is created once per request. Now, it needs to access the HttpServletRequest object.

Since the bean is created once per request, I figure the container can easily inject the request object in my bean. How can I do that ?

As suggested here you can also inject the HttpServletRequest as a method param, e.g.:

public MyResponseObject myApiMethod(HttpServletRequest request, ...) {
    ...
}
