It's a static class. Outside of tests, it's only used inside the HttpRequest/ResponseProxy classes that use it to retrieve the thread-local copies of the underlying servlet objects.

Any component that needs the request or response is injected with shibboleth.HttpServletRequest and shibboleth.HttpServletResponse. There's a bit of magic inside the classes those point to that does the work, and most of that is inside the static functions of the class you're asking about. The name is a bit confusing, it's not part of our context tree business.
