Hi Luke, That's correct - if the instance is a WebDelegatingSubject, you can obtain the request that way. You can use Shiro's WebUtils for this:
HttpServletRequest request = WebUtils.getHttpRequest(subject); This will return iff the subject is a WebDelegatingSubject however. You would see a DelegatingSubject if you're not operating in the context of a request thread. Are you seeing DelegatingSubject even on a request thread?
