I'm using Spring 3. When controller gets requests it passes control to method someMethod() annotated with @Async in Service bean and then returns. When I access in someMethod() HttpSession object I receive this exception
java.lang.IllegalStateException: No thread-bound request found: Are you
referring to request attributes outside of an actual web request, or
processing a request outside of the originally receiving thread? If you are
actually operating within a web request and still receive this message, your
code is probably running outside of DispatcherServlet/DispatcherPortlet: In
this case, use RequestContextListener or
RequestContextFilter to expose the current request.
How can I resolve this?
The HttpSession object itself can be used in multiple threads (but is not thread-safe and therefore must be synchronized). However Spring is doing some extra magic e.g. when you have session-scoped beans. Namely it uses ThreadLocal underneath to bind current session with thread.
I don't know what is your exact scenario, but apparently Spring tries to retrieve HttpSession from this ThreadLocal while you are in another thread - which obviously fails.
The solution is simple - extract session attributes you need in @Async method and pass them directly. This is by the way much better design - avoid passing HttpSession object around because it makes testing harder and your code is much less likely to be reused in the future.
