title: Accessing session in Spring validate method
body: <p>I am migrating my Struts application to Spring. While migrating I came across the validate method of Struts which needs to be migrated in Spring. The Struts validate method accepts parameters as <strong>ActionMapping mapping, HttpServletRequest req</strong> and using the req object session was created in validate method of Struts. 
  But the validate method of Spring only accepts parameters: <strong>Object target, Errors errors</strong> . So how can I create a session object in the validate method of Spring ?
  Any kind of help is appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
