The current language is available in request.getLocale();

There is a trick here. Put whatever arguments you want in the request 
attributes. BUT this must be done BEFORE any access to the container 
list that contains the web app. The issue here is that upon loading the 
container list, Jahia dispatches to the web application. So you must put 
before this loading part the attributes.
