Access to Locale (MessageContext) in ParameterHandler?

[cfineman <cf...@gmail.com>]

Say I wanted to write a ParameterHandler that was locale-sensitive (e.g. for
parsing dates or monetary values). I can access to the request's locale via
an injected MessageContext but there's no obvious (to me!) way for me to get
at the MessageContext from within the ParameterHanlder. I understand from my
travels that the MessageContext is actually stored in a thread-local
variable... can I get access to that value without creating a dependency
that will likely break in future releases.

I could write a spring interceptor to squirrel away the servlet request but
I was hoping to do it entirely via CXF's framework. Any thoughts?

At the moment ParameterHandlers can not be injected with contexts, but there
is another CXF specific way :

Message m = PhaseInterceptorChain.getCurrentMessage();
Map<String, List<String>> headers = (Map) m.get(Message.PROTOCOL_HEADERS);

or even

HttpHeades headers = new HttpHeadersImpl(m);

which is unlikely to break in the future

cheers, Sergey
