Chuck's using extended sessions, so using that filter for the Wicket side wouldn't be an option. But I also don't think that wrapping a Wicket RequestCycle around a servlet request is a good idea (if it's even possible).
Instead, I would use a filter for the legacy stuff only. You can still tie such a filter to DataStaticService if you want. The session factory would be in there (initted by your Wicket app), you just need to tell it to open and bind the session to your thread. In fact, such a filter for legacy requests is something I'd like to have in Databinder, if you make it. Then we could use it for XML-RPC or other Web services. As it is, we open the Hibernate session inline: http://databinder.net/wsvn/Databinder/message/r1.0/src/main/java/example/BottleService.java?op=file (Though that particular service also handles Cajo requests so it wouldn't work with an HTTP filter.)
