I need to access the request as I have a session variable stored in a StateHolder class which I need to access (request.getSession()). Basically, the field in my form is a calculated field (age) which is calculated from a DOB field. I need it in the form as I need access to the age field for some validations. I could write a custom validator for this which has access to the request object. I was just trying to see if it is at all possible to get the request object in any way.
I have solved my problem now. But I am still wondering if it is a good idea to have access to the request object from anywhere. If yes, then is there a way to do it. Any thoughts?

From within the ActionForm you can get the ServletContext this way: ServletContext context = this.getServlet().getServletContext(); But i don't think that helps. What is the scenario here? why do you need the request in the ActionForm? there may be a simple refactoring that could solve the problem. dave On Fri, 2006-05-12 at 11:59 -0500, Chaudhary, Harsh wrote: > Hi, > This is not exactly a struts question.
