                                            throws IllegalStateException

  Set a system property to the web application root directory. The key of the system property can be defined with the "webAppRootKey" context-param in `web.xml`. Default is "webapp.root".

  Can be used for tools that support substition with `System.getProperty` values, like log4j's "${key}" syntax within log file locations.

  Parameters:
    `servletContext` - the servlet context of the web application
  Throws:
    `IllegalStateException` - if the system property is already set, or if the WAR file is not expanded
  See Also:
    `WEB_APP_ROOT_KEY_PARAM`, `DEFAULT_WEB_APP_ROOT_KEY`, `WebAppRootListener`, `Log4jWebConfigurer`

### removeWebAppRootSystemProperty

  See Also:
    `setWebAppRootSystemProperty(javax.servlet.ServletContext)`

### isDefaultHtmlEscape

    public static boolean isDefaultHtmlEscape(ServletContext servletContext)

  Parameters:
    `servletContext` - the servlet context of the web application
  Returns:
    whether default HTML escaping is enabled (default is false)

### getDefaultHtmlEscape

    public static Boolean getDefaultHtmlEscape(ServletContext servletContext)

  Return whether default HTML escaping is enabled for the web application, i.e. the value of the "defaultHtmlEscape" context-param in `web.xml` (if any).

  This method differentiates between no param specified at all and an actual boolean value specified, allowing to have a context-specific default in case of no setting at the global level.

  Parameters:
    `servletContext` - the servlet context of the web application
  Returns:
    whether default HTML escaping is enabled (null = no explicit default)

### getTempDir

                              throws FileNotFoundException

  Return the real path of the given path within the web application, as provided by the servlet container.

  Prepends a slash if the path does not already start with a slash, and throws a FileNotFoundException if the path cannot be resolved to a resource (in contrast to ServletContext's `getRealPath`, which returns null).

  Parameters:
    `servletContext` - the servlet context of the web application

### getOrCreateSessionAttribute

    public static Object getOrCreateSessionAttribute(HttpSession session,

    `IllegalArgumentException` - if the session attribute could not be instantiated

### getSessionMutex

    public static Object getSessionMutex(HttpSession session)

  Return the best available mutex for the given session: that is, an object to synchronize on for the given session.

  Returns the session mutex attribute if available; usually, this means that the HttpSessionMutexListener needs to be defined in `web.xml`. Falls back to the HttpSession itself if no mutex attribute found.

  The session mutex is guaranteed to be the same object during the entire lifetime of the session, available under the key defined by the `SESSION_MUTEX_ATTRIBUTE` constant. It serves as a safe reference to synchronize on for locking on the current session.

  In many cases, the HttpSession reference itself is a safe mutex as well, since it will always be the same object reference for the same active logical session. However, this is not guaranteed across different servlet containers; the only 100% safe way is a session mutex.

  Parameters:
    `session` - the HttpSession to find a mutex for
  Returns:
    the mutex object (never `null`)
  See Also:
    `SESSION_MUTEX_ATTRIBUTE`, `HttpSessionMutexListener`

  Return an appropriate request object of the specified type, if available, unwrapping the given request as far as necessary.

  Parameters:
    `request` - the servlet request to introspect
    `requiredType` - the desired type of request object
  Returns:
    the matching request object, or `null` if none of that type is available

                                          Class<T> requiredType)

  Return an appropriate response object of the specified type, if available, unwrapping the given response as far as necessary.

  Parameters:
    `response` - the servlet response to introspect
    `requiredType` - the desired type of response object
  Returns:
    the matching response object, or `null` if none of that type is available

  Obtain a named parameter from the given request parameters.

  See `findParameterValue(java.util.Map, String)` for a description of the lookup algorithm.

  Parameters:
    `request` - current HTTP request
    `name` - the logical name of the request parameter
  Returns:
    the value of the parameter, or `null` if the parameter does not exist in given request

### findParameterValue

    public static String findParameterValue(Map<String,?> parameters,
                                            String name)

  Obtain a named parameter from the given request parameters.

  This method will try to obtain a parameter value using the following algorithm:

  1. Try to get the parameter value using just the given logical name. This handles parameters of the form `logicalName = value`. For normal parameters, e.g. submitted using a hidden HTML form field, this will return the requested value.
  2. Try to obtain the parameter value from the parameter name, where the parameter name in the request is of the form `logicalName_value = xyz` with "_" being the configured delimiter. This deals with parameter values submitted using an HTML form submit button.
  3. If the value obtained in the previous step has a ".x" or ".y" suffix, remove that. This handles cases where the value was submitted using an HTML form image button. In this case the parameter in the request would actually be of the form `logicalName_value.x = 123`.

  Parameters:
    `parameters` - the available parameter map
    `name` - the logical name of the request parameter
  Returns:
    the value of the parameter, or `null` if the parameter does not exist in given request

  Return a map containing all parameters with the given prefix. Maps single values to String and multiple values to String array.

  For example, with a prefix of "spring_", "spring_param1" and "spring_param2" result in a Map with "param1" and "param2" as keys.

  Parameters:
    `request` - HTTP request in which to look for parameters
    `prefix` - the beginning of parameter names (if this is null or the empty string, all parameters will match)
  Returns:
    map containing request parameters without the prefix, containing either a String or a String array as values
  See Also:
    `ServletRequest.getParameterNames()`, `ServletRequest.getParameterValues(java.lang.String)`, `ServletRequest.getParameterMap()`
