How can I get HttpServletRequest when in an HttpSessionListener?

Question

How can I access request headers from a SessionListener?

I need to set a timeout on the current session when it is created. The timeout needs to vary based on a head

Answer 1

You can't ( see the API ). The request allows you to access the session, but not the other way around.

You might even have concurrent requests for the same session, so this is not feasible.
