webservletfilter causes a UnsupportedOperationException

See original GitHub issue

I’m trying to use the Agent compiled from master (2e5419b89756fb0c3df276f2a22184175c27d970) using the following command:

mvn clean install && mvn -Dassemble package

But when I add it to a Spring Boot application, it prevents the application from starting and error with the following:

                
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Section 4.4 of the Servlet 3.0 specification does not permit this method to be called from a ServletContextListener that was not defined in web.xml, a web-fragment.xml file nor annotated with @WebListener
