Getting http-session from a child thread?

I'm using spring framework and here's the piece of code I'm using to retrieve the HttpSession object:

ServletRequestAttributes attr;
try {
    attr = (ServletRequestAttributes) RequestContextHolder
            .currentRequestAttributes();
} catch (Exception e) { }
HttpSession session = attr.getRequest().getSession(false);

The thing is RequestContextHolder

Holder class to expose the web request in the form of a thread-bound RequestAttributes object.

therefore it won't be seen outside of the thread created by the container for handling the request. Is there a way to retrieve the session in some child thread?

No there isn't. In the Servlet API, the session is a property of the request object. Therefore, if you don't have a request, which of the many existing sessions would you retrieve?
