title: Where to store request specific values in Spring MVC?
body: <p>I'm using Spring MVC and I want to store request specific values somewhere so that they can be fetched throughout my request context.  Say I want to set a value into the context in my Controller (or some sort of handler) and then fetch that value from some other part of the Spring request/response cycle (could be a view, view resolver, interceptor, exception handler, etc)... how would I do that?</p>
  
  <p>My question is:</p>
  
  <p>Does Spring MVC already provide a method to do what I described above?<br>
  If Spring doesn't have this functionality, any ideas on the best way to do this (by extending something maybe)?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
