How to create a new object of HttpServletRequest class manually?

Question

Dear all,
I don't know how silly my question is, however I have no way except asking.
I know that when I send a request from the client to the server, server authomatically creates an object of
HttpServletRequest and assigns all the request information to that object, so that you can extract these information by the available methods in the HttpServletRequest class like getHeader, getMethod and so on. What I need to do in my project is doing all above process manually. My question is how I can do it?
In other words, I have the header and body part of a http request and I want to create a HttpServletRequest
object and assign the header and body data to the object so that I'll be able to extract those data by using the getHeader, getMethod and other methods available in the HttpServletRequest class.
Please Help me, I really need your help?
Your help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi shadgar ,
as rightly mentioned by Sudha and GrayMan, you can provide the implementation for the HttpServletRequest interface in your own way for the requirement, but it leads to a new Servlet Container development as you need to handle many things than the HttpServletRequest.
I think the current interface and the Servlet Container will be able to handle if your request is over HTTP protocol and it don't deviate from the prtocol's request/response model.
Check out the javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequestWrapper class, which is the implementation of the javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest and javax.servlet.ServletRequest interfaces.
Hope it will give some idea about the actual problem and rethink about the solution proposed.
