Scott, This does not work for the simple reasons that most portlet container (eXo and pluto) use ServletRequestDispatcher to redirect from the portal war to the portlet war.
Indeed using filters in included or forwarded application is only possible in servlet containers that are 2.4 compatible (ie tomcat 5.x and NOT 4.x) "New for version 2.4 of the Java Servlet specification is the ability to configure filters to be invoked under request dispatcher forward() and include() calls." (spec SRV.6.2.5 Filters and the RequestDispatcher) Also note that you will obtain only servlet request and response objects which is really not very usefull in a portlet application war.
