- javax.servlet.ServletRequestWrapper

All Implemented Interfaces:

ServletRequest

Direct Known Subclasses:

HttpServletRequestWrapper
```
public class ServletRequestWrapper
extends Object
implements ServletRequest
```
Provides a convenient implementation of the ServletRequest interface that can be subclassed by developers wishing to adapt the request to a Servlet. This class implements the Wrapper or Decorator pattern. Methods default to calling through to the wrapped request object.
