getAttribute
```
public Object getAttribute(String name)
```
Description copied from interface: ServletRequest

Returns the value of the named attribute as an Object, or null if no attribute of the given name exists.
Attributes can be set two ways. The servlet container may set attributes to make available custom information about a request. For example, for requests made using HTTPS, the attribute javax.servlet.request.X509Certificate can be used to retrieve information on the certificate of the client. Attributes can also be set programmatically using ServletRequest.setAttribute(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object). This allows information to be embedded into a request before a RequestDispatcher call.
Attribute names should follow the same conventions as package names. This specification reserves names matching java.*, javax.*, and sun.*.

Specified by:

getAttribute in interface ServletRequest

Parameters:
name - Name of the request attribute to return

Returns:
the specified request attribute if it exists; otherwise, return null.

getAttributeNames
```
public Enumeration<String> getAttributeNames()
```
Return the names of all request attributes for this Request, or an empty Enumeration if there are none. Note that the attribute names returned will only be those for the attributes set via setAttribute(String, Object). Tomcat internal attributes will not be included although they are accessible via getAttribute(String). The Tomcat internal attributes include:
- Globals.DISPATCHER_TYPE_ATTR
- Globals.DISPATCHER_REQUEST_PATH_ATTR
- Globals.ASYNC_SUPPORTED_ATTR
- Globals.CERTIFICATES_ATTR (SSL connections only)
- Globals.CIPHER_SUITE_ATTR (SSL connections only)
- Globals.KEY_SIZE_ATTR (SSL connections only)
- Globals.SSL_SESSION_ID_ATTR (SSL connections only)
- Globals.SSL_SESSION_ID_TOMCAT_ATTR (SSL connections only)
- Globals.SSL_SESSION_MGR_ATTR (SSL connections only)
- Globals.PARAMETER_PARSE_FAILED_ATTR
The underlying connector may also expose request attributes. These all have names starting with "org.apache.tomcat" and include:
Connector implementations may return some, all or none of these attributes and may also support additional attributes.
Specified by:

getAttributeNames in interface ServletRequest

Returns:
the attribute names enumeration

Specified by:

getInputStream in interface ServletRequest

Returns:
the servlet input stream for this Request. The default implementation returns a servlet input stream created by createInputStream().

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if getReader() has already been called for this request

IOException - if an input/output error occurs

getLocale
```
public Locale getLocale()
```
Description copied from interface: ServletRequest

getParameter
```
public String getParameter(String name)
```
Description copied from interface: ServletRequest

If you use this method with a multivalued parameter, the value returned is equal to the first value in the array returned by getParameterValues.
If the parameter data was sent in the request body, such as occurs with an HTTP POST request, then reading the body directly via ServletRequest.getInputStream() or ServletRequest.getReader() can interfere with the execution of this method.

Specified by:

getParameter in interface ServletRequest

Parameters:
name - Name of the desired request parameter

Returns:
the value of the specified request parameter, if any; otherwise, return null. If there is more than one value defined, return only the first one.

getReader
```
public BufferedReader getReader()
                         throws IOException
