What are you trying to accomplish by "chaining two servlets using a
filter"? The traditional definition of servlet chaining (feeding the
output of one servlet into another) has turned out to be a very bad design
pattern, so it's not supported.
On the other hand, filters themselves can modify input on the way in, and
output on the way out. And you can easily configure more than one filter
to be mapped to a particular request.
It all comes down to what you are trying to accomplish.
