We got round this by putting the name into a ThreadLocal variable from a
place where we *did* have access to it, then reading it later - messy,
but it works, as Tomcat processes an entire request on the same thread.
Note that threads are re-used between requests, so make sure your code
can deal with that re-use.
There are probably better ways.
