Allow specification of inheritable flag in RequestContextFilter/Listener [SPR-4535]

[spring-projects-issues]

Kenny MacLeod opened SPR-4535 and commented

When RequestContextFilter or RequestContextListener call RequestContextHolder.setRequestAttributes(), they don't specify the inheritable flag, and so that defaults to false.

I'd like to be able to configure the filter or listener to specify the value of this flag.

I've added a "threadContextInheritable" init-param to RequestContextFilter (analogous to DispatcherServlet). Since Servlet request listeners do not have a specific init-param facility, I've left things as-is there. You'll have to use the filter when you intend to change the "threadContextInheritable" setting.
