There's no need to get a reference to the ExtHttpService if you just want to register a Filter using the whiteboard pattern, see http://felix.apache.org/site/apache-felix-http-service.html#ApacheFelixHTTPService-UsingtheWhiteboard.
Remember that you will need to have either the HttpService whiteboard handler bundle (org.apache.felix.http.whiteboard) or the all-in-one bundle (org.apache.felix.http.bundle) in your framework for this to work.
