How to get HttpServletRequest in Liferay WebService

Hi I have a webService that is generated from buildServices of Liferay.. the method looks like this 

 public User getUserTest(long userId) {

    User u = null;
    try {
        Token token = OAuthFactoryUtil.createToken("sasa", "sdad");
    } catch (OAuthException e1) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e1.printStackTrace();
    }

    try {
        u = UserLocalServiceUtil.getUser(userId);
        System.out.println("xx user " + u.getScreenName());
    } catch (Exception e) {
        System.out.println(" Exception ************* " + e.toString());
    }

    return u;
}

the parameters in this ws would be this : 

http://localhost:8080/demo-portlet/api/json?serviceClassName=com.sample.portlet.library.service.BookServiceUtil&serviceMethodName=getUserTest&userId=10195&serviceParameters=[userId]

having userId as a parameter..

How would you pass a parameter if you need HttpServletRequest.. my method would look like this

public User getUserTest(HttpServletRequest httpRequest) {

    User u = null;

    try {

        String version = httpRequest.getHeader("X-PHM-APP-VERSION");
        Token token = OAuthFactoryUtil.createToken("sasa", "sdad");
    } catch (OAuthException e1) {
        e1.printStackTrace();
    }

    try {
        String authorization = httpRequest.getHeader("Authorization");
        u = UserLocalServiceUtil.getUser(Long.valueOf(authorization));
        System.out.println("authorization --> " + authorization);
        System.out.println("xx user " + u.getScreenName());
    } catch (Exception e) {
        System.out.println(" Exception ************* " + e.toString());
    }

    return u;
}

I need the HttpServletRequest to get the parameters from header, instead of passing through url. Is there a better way to get parameters from header? thanks for your help

I think webservice layer is normally at a later stage where in you would never pass request. Ideally what you would do is pass header parameter to the webservice instead of request

In Liferay, you will get HttpServletRequest from the PortletRequest. Please use com.liferay.portal.util.PortalUtil class.

There are 2 methods in it. getHttpServletRequest() and getOriginalServletRequest(), you will get the both core level http request from these methods.
