You can add these methods. The TransportContextHolder will hold some data related to transport (HTTP in this case) in a thread local variable. You can access HttpServletRequest from the TransportContext.

protected HttpServletRequest getHttpServletRequest() {
    TransportContext ctx = TransportContextHolder.getTransportContext();
    return ( null != ctx ) ? ((HttpServletConnection ) ctx.getConnection()).getHttpServletRequest() : null;
}

protected String getHttpHeaderValue( final String headerName ) {
    HttpServletRequest httpServletRequest = getHttpServletRequest();
    return ( null != httpServletRequest ) ? httpServletRequest.getHeader( headerName ) : null;
}
