You can call Thread.currentThread().getName(), but it will not be very useful to
you. Most servlet containers reuse request processing threads for subsequent
requests, so the same thread name will show up over and over again. In between
requests, the threads are waiting to be reused in some sort of thread pool
inside the container.

That is true, but the next request from that same window will come in on some
other (essentially randomly assigned) thread. So it doesn't help you beyond the
duration of the current request.
