The answer turned out to be that it will be in the org.apache.catalina.connector.Request
object (In my particular case, it was buried several levels deep inside wrapper objects.)
If you are using a debugger, like the one in Intellij (which I use), you can get the value of an individual attribute (like the Webflow model object) by evaluating the expression request.getAttribute("attributeName")
. Note that this may return a Java Object type, and you may have to cast it to the correct type.
For example, in my case, I was able to find the value of the value I wanted using this expression:
((MyObject)(request.getAttribute("myObject"))).getMyThing()
I hope this helps somebody.
