You could publish the request in the new Thread like this:

import org.springframework.web.context.request.RequestContextListener;
 ...
ServletRequestEvent requestEvent = new ServletRequestEvent(req.getServletContext(), req);
RequestContextListener requestContextListener = new RequestContextListener();
requestContextListener.requestInitialized(requestEvent);
 ...
requestContextListener.requestDestroyed(requestEvent);

If you look inside requestInitialized()-method you will find a ThreadLocal-variable holding the request. Now you can autowire your request successfully.
