Well, you can cast the 'ControllerRequest' to 'ServletControllerRequest', 
just be forewarned that it blocks you from using the Controller in anything 
but a web servlet environment.

For the record, you easily get the session in your controller by calling:

         request.getSession()

And then save objects to the session by:
         request.setPersistentAttribute()

HTH!
