Is this a servlet filter? I don't believe it is legal to propagate a
tx out of a servlet filter (either down the chain or up the chain).

Really? I guess it's not very kosher, but it certainly helps simplify
the code for the pages since while pages render, there's always a
transaction available. There are some obvious side-effects. This 'not
legal' statement is from a document somewhere Dain?
