  - getAttribute
```
public Object getAttribute(String name)
```
    Returns the value of the named attribute as an Object, or null if no attribute of the given name exists.
    Attributes can be set two ways. The servlet container may set attributes to make available custom information about a request. For example, for requests made using HTTPS, the attribute javax.servlet.request.X509Certificate can be used to retrieve information on the certificate of the client. Attributes can also be set programatically using ServletRequest.setAttribute(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object). This allows information to be embedded into a request before a RequestDispatcher call.
    Attribute names should follow the same conventions as package names. This specification reserves names matching java.*, javax.*, and sun.*.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getAttribute in interface ServletRequest
    
    Parameters:

    Attribute names should follow the same conventions as package names. Names beginning with java.*, javax.*, and com.sun.*, are reserved for use by Sun Microsystems.
    If the object passed in is null, the effect is the same as calling ServletRequest.removeAttribute(java.lang.String).
    It is warned that when the request is dispatched from the servlet resides in a different web application by RequestDispatcher, the object set by this method may not be correctly retrieved in the caller servlet.

    Specified by:
    
    getHeaderNames in interface HttpServletRequest
    
    Returns:
    
    an enumeration of all the header names sent with this request; if the request has no headers, an empty enumeration; if the servlet container does not allow servlets to use this method, null
  - getIntHeader
```
public int getIntHeader(String name)
```
    Returns the value of the specified request header as an int. If the request does not have a header of the specified name, this method returns -1. If the header cannot be converted to an integer, this method throws a NumberFormatException.
    The header name is case insensitive.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getIntHeader in interface HttpServletRequest
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - a String specifying the name of a request header
    
    Returns:
    
    an integer expressing the value of the request header or -1 if the request doesn't have a header of this name
  - getMethod
```
public String getMethod()
```
    Returns the name of the HTTP method with which this request was made, for example, GET, POST, or PUT. Same as the value of the CGI variable REQUEST_METHOD.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getMethod in interface HttpServletRequest
    
    Returns:
    
    a String specifying the name of the method with which this request was made
  - getPathInfo
```
public String getPathInfo()
```
    Returns any extra path information associated with the URL the client sent when it made this request. The extra path information follows the servlet path but precedes the query string and will start with a "/" character.
    This method returns null if there was no extra path information.
    Same as the value of the CGI variable PATH_INFO.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getPathInfo in interface HttpServletRequest
    
    Returns:
    
    a String, decoded by the web container, specifying extra path information that comes after the servlet path but before the query string in the request URL; or null if the URL does not have any extra path information
  - getPathTranslated
```
public String getPathTranslated()
```
    Returns any extra path information after the servlet name but before the query string, and translates it to a real path. Same as the value of the CGI variable PATH_TRANSLATED.
    If the URL does not have any extra path information, this method returns null or the servlet container cannot translate the virtual path to a real path for any reason (such as when the web application is executed from an archive). The web container does not decode this string.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getPathTranslated in interface HttpServletRequest
    
    Returns:
    
    a String specifying the real path, or null if the URL does not have any extra path information
  - getContextPath
```
public String getContextPath()
```
    Returns the portion of the request URI that indicates the context of the request. The context path always comes first in a request URI. The path starts with a "/" character but does not end with a "/" character. For servlets in the default (root) context, this method returns "". The container does not decode this string.
    It is possible that a servlet container may match a context by more than one context path. In such cases this method will return the actual context path used by the request and it may differ from the path returned by the ServletContext.getContextPath() method. The context path returned by ServletContext.getContextPath() should be considered as the prime or preferred context path of the application.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getContextPath in interface HttpServletRequest
    
    Returns:
    
    a String specifying the portion of the request URI that indicates the context of the request
    
    See Also:
    
    ServletContext.getContextPath()
  - getQueryString
```
public String getQueryString()
```
    Returns the query string that is contained in the request URL after the path. This method returns null if the URL does not have a query string. Same as the value of the CGI variable QUERY_STRING.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getQueryString in interface HttpServletRequest
    
    Returns:
    
    a String containing the query string or null if the URL contains no query string. The value is not decoded by the container.
  - getRemoteUser
```
public String getRemoteUser()
```
    Returns the login of the user making this request, if the user has been authenticated, or null if the user has not been authenticated. Whether the user name is sent with each subsequent request depends on the browser and type of authentication. Same as the value of the CGI variable REMOTE_USER.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getRemoteUser in interface HttpServletRequest
    
    Returns:
    
    a String specifying the login of the user making this request, or null if the user login is not known
  - isUserInRole
```
public boolean isUserInRole(String role)
```
    Returns a boolean indicating whether the authenticated user is included in the specified logical "role". Roles and role membership can be defined using deployment descriptors. If the user has not been authenticated, the method returns false.
    The role name “*” should never be used as an argument in calling isUserInRole. Any call to isUserInRole with “*” must return false. If the role-name of the security-role to be tested is “**”, and the application has NOT declared an application security-role with role-name “**”, isUserInRole must only return true if the user has been authenticated; that is, only when HttpServletRequest.getRemoteUser() and HttpServletRequest.getUserPrincipal() would both return a non-null value. Otherwise, the container must check the user for membership in the application role.
    
    Specified by:
    
    isUserInRole in interface HttpServletRequest
    
    Parameters:
    
    role - a String specifying the name of the role
    
    Returns:
    
    a boolean indicating whether the user making this request belongs to a given role; false if the user has not been authenticated
  - getUserPrincipal
```
public Principal getUserPrincipal()
```
    Returns a java.security.Principal object containing the name of the current authenticated user. If the user has not been authenticated, the method returns null.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getUserPrincipal in interface HttpServletRequest
    
    Returns:
    
    a java.security.Principal containing the name of the user making this request; null if the user has not been authenticated
  - getRequestedSessionId
```
public String getRequestedSessionId()
```
    Returns the session ID specified by the client. This may not be the same as the ID of the current valid session for this request. If the client did not specify a session ID, this method returns null.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getRequestedSessionId in interface HttpServletRequest
    
    Returns:
    
    a String specifying the session ID, or null if the request did not specify a session ID
    
    See Also:
    
    HttpServletRequest.isRequestedSessionIdValid()
  - getRequestURI
```
public String getRequestURI()
```
    Returns the part of this request's URL from the protocol name up to the query string in the first line of the HTTP request. The web container does not decode this String. For example:
    
    First line of HTTP request Returned Value
    POST /some/path.html HTTP/1.1 /some/path.html
    GET http://foo.bar/a.html HTTP/1.0 /a.html
    HEAD /xyz?a=b HTTP/1.1 /xyz
    
    To reconstruct an URL with a scheme and host, use HttpUtils.getRequestURL(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest).
    
    Specified by:
    
    getRequestURI in interface HttpServletRequest
    
    Returns:
    
    a String containing the part of the URL from the protocol name up to the query string
    
    See Also:
    
    HttpUtils.getRequestURL(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest)
  - getRequestURL
```
public StringBuffer getRequestURL()
```
    Reconstructs the URL the client used to make the request. The returned URL contains a protocol, server name, port number, and server path, but it does not include query string parameters.
    If this request has been forwarded using RequestDispatcher.forward(javax.servlet.ServletRequest, javax.servlet.ServletResponse), the server path in the reconstructed URL must reflect the path used to obtain the RequestDispatcher, and not the server path specified by the client.
    Because this method returns a StringBuffer, not a string, you can modify the URL easily, for example, to append query parameters.
    This method is useful for creating redirect messages and for reporting errors.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getRequestURL in interface HttpServletRequest
    
    Returns:
    
    a StringBuffer object containing the reconstructed URL
  - getServletPath
```
public String getServletPath()
```
    Returns the part of this request's URL that calls the servlet. This path starts with a "/" character and includes either the servlet name or a path to the servlet, but does not include any extra path information or a query string. Same as the value of the CGI variable SCRIPT_NAME.
    This method will return an empty string ("") if the servlet used to process this request was matched using the "/*" pattern.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getServletPath in interface HttpServletRequest
    
    Returns:
    
    a String containing the name or path of the servlet being called, as specified in the request URL, decoded, or an empty string if the servlet used to process the request is matched using the "/*" pattern.
  - getSession
```
public HttpSession getSession(boolean create)
```
    Returns the current HttpSession associated with this request or, if there is no current session and create is true, returns a new session.
    If create is false and the request has no valid HttpSession, this method returns null.
    To make sure the session is properly maintained, you must call this method before the response is committed. If the container is using cookies to maintain session integrity and is asked to create a new session when the response is committed, an IllegalStateException is thrown.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getSession in interface HttpServletRequest
    
    Parameters:
    
    create - true to create a new session for this request if necessary; false to return null if there's no current session
    
    Returns:
    
    the HttpSession associated with this request or null if create is false and the request has no valid session
    
    See Also:
    
    HttpServletRequest.getSession()
  - getSession
```
public HttpSession getSession()
```
    Returns the current session associated with this request, or if the request does not have a session, creates one.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getSession in interface HttpServletRequest
    
    Returns:
    
    the HttpSession associated with this request
    
    See Also:
    
    HttpServletRequest.getSession(boolean)
  - isRequestedSessionIdValid
```
public boolean isRequestedSessionIdValid()
```
    Checks whether the requested session ID is still valid.
    If the client did not specify any session ID, this method returns false.
    
    Specified by:
    
    isRequestedSessionIdValid in interface HttpServletRequest
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this request has an id for a valid session in the current session context; false otherwise
    
    See Also:
    
    HttpServletRequest.getRequestedSessionId(), HttpServletRequest.getSession(boolean), HttpSessionContext
  - isRequestedSessionIdFromCookie
```
public boolean isRequestedSessionIdFromCookie()
```
    Checks whether the requested session ID came in as a cookie.
    
    Specified by:
    
    isRequestedSessionIdFromCookie in interface HttpServletRequest
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the session ID came in as a cookie; otherwise, false
    
    See Also:
    
    HttpServletRequest.getSession(boolean)
  - isRequestedSessionIdFromURL
```
public boolean isRequestedSessionIdFromURL()
```
    Checks whether the requested session ID came in as part of the request URL.
    
    Specified by:
    
    isRequestedSessionIdFromURL in interface HttpServletRequest
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the session ID came in as part of a URL; otherwise, false
    
    See Also:
    
    HttpServletRequest.getSession(boolean)
  - isRequestedSessionIdFromUrl
```
public boolean isRequestedSessionIdFromUrl()
```
    Specified by:
    
    isRequestedSessionIdFromUrl in interface HttpServletRequest
  - getServletContext
```
public ServletContext getServletContext()
```
    Gets the servlet context to which this ServletRequest was last dispatched.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getServletContext in interface ServletRequest
    
    Returns:
    
    the servlet context to which this ServletRequest was last dispatched
  - startAsync
```
public AsyncContext startAsync()
```
    Puts this request into asynchronous mode, and initializes its AsyncContext with the original (unwrapped) ServletRequest and ServletResponse objects.
    Calling this method will cause committal of the associated response to be delayed until AsyncContext.complete() is called on the returned AsyncContext, or the asynchronous operation has timed out.
    Calling AsyncContext.hasOriginalRequestAndResponse() on the returned AsyncContext will return true. Any filters invoked in the outbound direction after this request was put into asynchronous mode may use this as an indication that any request and/or response wrappers that they added during their inbound invocation need not stay around for the duration of the asynchronous operation, and therefore any of their associated resources may be released.
    This method clears the list of AsyncListener instances (if any) that were registered with the AsyncContext returned by the previous call to one of the startAsync methods, after calling each AsyncListener at its onStartAsync method.
    Subsequent invocations of this method, or its overloaded variant, will return the same AsyncContext instance, reinitialized as appropriate.
    
    Specified by:
    
    startAsync in interface ServletRequest
    
    Returns:
    
    the (re)initialized AsyncContext
    
    See Also:
    
    AsyncContext.dispatch()
  - startAsync
```
public AsyncContext startAsync(ServletRequest servletRequest,
                               ServletResponse servletResponse)
```
    Puts this request into asynchronous mode, and initializes its AsyncContext with the given request and response objects.
    The ServletRequest and ServletResponse arguments must be the same instances, or instances of ServletRequestWrapper and ServletResponseWrapper that wrap them, that were passed to the service method of the Servlet or the doFilter method of the Filter, respectively, in whose scope this method is being called.
    Calling this method will cause committal of the associated response to be delayed until AsyncContext.complete() is called on the returned AsyncContext, or the asynchronous operation has timed out.
    Calling AsyncContext.hasOriginalRequestAndResponse() on the returned AsyncContext will return false, unless the passed in ServletRequest and ServletResponse arguments are the original ones or do not carry any application-provided wrappers. Any filters invoked in the outbound direction after this request was put into asynchronous mode may use this as an indication that some of the request and/or response wrappers that they added during their inbound invocation may need to stay in place for the duration of the asynchronous operation, and their associated resources may not be released. A ServletRequestWrapper applied during the inbound invocation of a filter may be released by the outbound invocation of the filter only if the given servletRequest, which is used to initialize the AsyncContext and will be returned by a call to AsyncContext.getRequest(), does not contain said ServletRequestWrapper. The same holds true for ServletResponseWrapper instances.
    This method clears the list of AsyncListener instances (if any) that were registered with the AsyncContext returned by the previous call to one of the startAsync methods, after calling each AsyncListener at its onStartAsync method.
    Subsequent invocations of this method, or its zero-argument variant, will return the same AsyncContext instance, reinitialized as appropriate. If a call to this method is followed by a call to its zero-argument variant, the specified (and possibly wrapped) request and response objects will remain locked in on the returned AsyncContext.
    
    Specified by:
    
    startAsync in interface ServletRequest
    
    Parameters:
    
    servletRequest - the ServletRequest used to initialize the AsyncContext
    
    servletResponse - the ServletResponse used to initialize the AsyncContext
    
    Returns:
    
    the (re)initialized AsyncContext
  - isAsyncStarted
```
public boolean isAsyncStarted()
```
    Checks if this request has been put into asynchronous mode.
    A ServletRequest is put into asynchronous mode by calling ServletRequest.startAsync() or ServletRequest.startAsync(ServletRequest,ServletResponse) on it.
    This method returns false if this request was put into asynchronous mode, but has since been dispatched using one of the AsyncContext.dispatch() methods or released from asynchronous mode via a call to AsyncContext.complete().
    
    Specified by:
    
    isAsyncStarted in interface ServletRequest
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this request has been put into asynchronous mode, false otherwise
  - isAsyncSupported
```
public boolean isAsyncSupported()
```
    Checks if this request supports asynchronous operation.
    Asynchronous operation is disabled for this request if this request is within the scope of a filter or servlet that has not been annotated or flagged in the deployment descriptor as being able to support asynchronous handling.
    
    Specified by:
    
    isAsyncSupported in interface ServletRequest
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this request supports asynchronous operation, false otherwise
  - getAsyncContext
```
public AsyncContext getAsyncContext()
```
    Gets the AsyncContext that was created or reinitialized by the most recent invocation of ServletRequest.startAsync() or ServletRequest.startAsync(ServletRequest,ServletResponse) on this request.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getAsyncContext in interface ServletRequest
    
    Returns:
    
    the AsyncContext that was created or reinitialized by the most recent invocation of ServletRequest.startAsync() or ServletRequest.startAsync(ServletRequest,ServletResponse) on this request
  - getDispatcherType
```
public DispatcherType getDispatcherType()
```
    Gets the dispatcher type of this request.
    The dispatcher type of a request is used by the container to select the filters that need to be applied to the request: Only filters with matching dispatcher type and url patterns will be applied.
    Allowing a filter that has been configured for multiple dispatcher types to query a request for its dispatcher type allows the filter to process the request differently depending on its dispatcher type.
    The initial dispatcher type of a request is defined as DispatcherType.REQUEST. The dispatcher type of a request dispatched via RequestDispatcher.forward(ServletRequest, ServletResponse) or RequestDispatcher.include(ServletRequest, ServletResponse) is given as DispatcherType.FORWARD or DispatcherType.INCLUDE, respectively, while the dispatcher type of an asynchronous request dispatched via one of the AsyncContext.dispatch() methods is given as DispatcherType.ASYNC. Finally, the dispatcher type of a request dispatched to an error page by the container's error handling mechanism is given as DispatcherType.ERROR.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getDispatcherType in interface ServletRequest
    
    Returns:
    
    the dispatcher type of this request
    
    See Also:
    
    DispatcherType
  - authenticate
```
public boolean authenticate(HttpServletResponse response)
                     throws IOException,
                            ServletException
```
    Use the container login mechanism configured for the ServletContext to authenticate the user making this request.
    This method may modify and commit the argument HttpServletResponse.
    
    Specified by:
    
    authenticate in interface HttpServletRequest
    
    Parameters:
    
    response - The HttpServletResponse associated with this HttpServletRequest
    
    Returns:
    
    true when non-null values were or have been established as the values returned by getUserPrincipal, getRemoteUser, and getAuthType. Return false if authentication is incomplete and the underlying login mechanism has committed, in the response, the message (e.g., challenge) and HTTP status code to be returned to the user.
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException - if an input or output error occurred while reading from this request or writing to the given response
    
    ServletException - if the authentication failed and the caller is responsible for handling the error (i.e., the underlying login mechanism did NOT establish the message and HTTP status code to be returned to the user)
  - login
```
public void login(String username,
                  String password)
           throws ServletException
```
    Validate the provided username and password in the password validation realm used by the web container login mechanism configured for the ServletContext.
    This method returns without throwing a ServletException when the login mechanism configured for the ServletContext supports username password validation, and when, at the time of the call to login, the identity of the caller of the request had not been established (i.e, all of getUserPrincipal, getRemoteUser, and getAuthType return null), and when validation of the provided credentials is successful. Otherwise, this method throws a ServletException as described below.
    When this method returns without throwing an exception, it must have established non-null values as the values returned by getUserPrincipal, getRemoteUser, and getAuthType.
    
    Specified by:
    
    login in interface HttpServletRequest
    
    Parameters:
    
    username - The String value corresponding to the login identifier of the user.
    
    password - The password String corresponding to the identified user.
    
    Throws:
    
    ServletException - if the configured login mechanism does not support username password authentication, or if a non-null caller identity had already been established (prior to the call to login), or if validation of the provided username and password fails.
  - logout
```
public void logout()
            throws ServletException
```
    Establish null as the value returned when getUserPrincipal, getRemoteUser, and getAuthType is called on the request.
    
    Specified by:
    
    logout in interface HttpServletRequest
    
    Throws:
    
    ServletException - if logout fails
  - getParts
```
public Collection<Part> getParts()
                          throws IOException,
                                 ServletException
```
    Gets all the Part components of this request, provided that it is of type multipart/form-data.
    If this request is of type multipart/form-data, but does not contain any Part components, the returned Collection will be empty.
    Any changes to the returned Collection must not affect this HttpServletRequest.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getParts in interface HttpServletRequest
    
    Returns:
    
    a (possibly empty) Collection of the Part components of this request
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException - if an I/O error occurred during the retrieval of the Part components of this request
    
    ServletException - if this request is not of type multipart/form-data
    
    See Also:
    
    MultipartConfig.maxFileSize(), MultipartConfig.maxRequestSize()

    Returns:
    
    The Part with the given name, or null if this request is of type multipart/form-data, but does not contain the requested Part
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException - if an I/O error occurred during the retrieval of the requested Part
    
    ServletException - if this request is not of type multipart/form-data
