It *might* be technically feasible to mimic some of the functionality using
a filter in a 2.3 environment, but it is not technically possible to support
everything.  Therefore, this combination (Shale and Servlet 2.3) is not
going to be supported.

For what it's worth, Greg Wilson of jetty considered
ServletRequestListener and ServletRequestAttributesListener  "too
objectionable to include in the core of Jetty" and wrote a filter to
support them.

Not sure about the "impose filters on a RequestDispatcher.forward()
call" part, though.
