I've also tried with 

ServletRequestAttributes sra=(ServletRequestAttributes) 
RequestContextHolder.currentRequestAttributes();

but doesn't work.

Are there in place any workaround??

May be possible i've found a possible workaround for this:

just declare in the web.xml of the application this listener (from spring 
distr.)

<listener>
        <listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.request.RequestContextListener</listener-class>
</listener>

In the spring bean service just declare this:

@Autowired
private HttpServletRequest request;

And seems it work.
Done.

The above is not working for me.
Do we have any solution on this?

Mentioning the code which worked for me

Change your web.xml
-------------------

<filter>
    <filter-name>springRequestFilter</filter-name>
    <filter-class>org.springframework.web.filter.RequestContextFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>springRequestFilter</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/your_pattern/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

And in the ServiceImpl class, you can access the request attribute by using

ServletRequestAttributes sra = 
((ServletRequestAttributes)RequestContextHolder.currentRequestAttributes());
sra.getRequest();

Hope it'll help

@Paresh I think that your approach is not Thread Safe.

Thanks Ritesh.Your suggested approach worked.

Change your web.xml
-------------------

<filter>
    <filter-name>springRequestFilter</filter-name>
    <filter-class>org.springframework.web.filter.RequestContextFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>springRequestFilter</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/your_pattern/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

And in your Service Impl class, add

@Autowired
private HttpServletRequest request;

And then you can access the http session as
request.getSession()or can set it like 
request.getSession().setAttribute(<variable>,<val> );
