I doubt if HttpServletRequestWrapper can ever work... Take a look at the DispatcherServlet implementation:

            HandlerInterceptor[] interceptors = mappedHandler.getInterceptors();
            if (interceptors != null) {
                for (int i = 0; i < interceptors.length; i++) {
                    HandlerInterceptor interceptor = interceptors[i];
                    if (!interceptor.preHandle(processedRequest, response, mappedHandler.getHandler())) {
                        triggerAfterCompletion(mappedHandler, interceptorIndex, processedRequest, response, null);
                        return;
                    }
                    interceptorIndex = i;
                }
            }

            // Actually invoke the handler.
            mv = ha.handle(processedRequest, response, mappedHandler.getHandler());

It passes reference to "processedRequest" still, which refers to a HttpServletRequest request whose stream has already been read.
