Interface RequestAware

All Superinterfaces:

EntityProvider

public interface RequestAware
extends EntityProvider

Indicates that this entity provider needs to be request aware, this allows the entity provider to get hold of information from the request at any time by directly accessing the request and response objects (if we are inside a request), if there is no current request then this method will fail to return anything
This is primarily intended to provide access to request parameters while operating inside the entity provider
