request and session from custom class

[scdev]

Hi to all,
I have to work with a servlet web application (that use jcifs for
authentication) but I can modify only a custom class that is not a
servlet and that is not called directly from a servlet (is called
through other classes) .
I know that is not a good solution but it's the only one possible.
So... From custom class i would like to recover current domain user
returnet by request.getRemoteUser() and a session variable; but i
can't reach request object, can't modify calls to myclass, i can't
pass additional parameter etc...
Did you have any suggestion to solve my problem? Is there a method to
recover request object?
ThanKyou .

You cannot recover what you aren't given.  From your description, the only

class you are allowed to alter is not given that information.  The caller has
eaten it.  You are SOL.

Thankyou,
In fact i could modify another class at the login procedure and store
my username "somewhere" but the problem still exist because i can't
recover it from the custom class. So i have no solution.
Thakyou anyway

The right answer would be to modify the calling class to pass that
information into an instance member of the class that needs to use it.
