Why not?

I think you may be looking at the wrong Request class. You want
org.apache.catalina.connector.Request, not org.apache.coyote.Request.
The former is not final. Check the javadoc for the Valve class:

http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/api/org/apache/catalina/Valve.html

and this enhancement request in bugzilla:

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=45014

Feel free to use my wrapper classes (with appropriate modifications, of
course).

You don't need to do any of that. Wrapping a request and/or response is
trivial, non-invasive, and you don't have to mess with any Tomcat internals.

Why not?
