I'm not sure what you are trying to do but the WebScriptServletRequest wraps the HttpServletRequest.   Which is why you can't cast it.

public WebScriptServletRequest(Runtime container, HttpServletRequest req, Match serviceMatch, ServerProperties serverProperties)
{
        super(container, req, serviceMatch, serverProperties);
}

I am just trying access the HttpServletRequest in the java backed webscript.

public class MyWebScript extends AbstractWebScript
{
   public void execute(WebScriptRequest req, WebScriptResponse res) 
   throws IOException
   {
      HttpServletRequest httpReq = ((WebScriptServletRequest)req).getHttpServletRequest();
   }
   
}‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Thats where i am getting the error. Could you explain why i am getting this error in this context.

Thanks for the help with this.
