Never mind - I had botched the truststore setup for the server, so the 
client cert was not being passed in.

Answer for the archives:

    import java.security.cert.X509Certificate;

    String certAttrName = "javax.servlet.request.X509Certificate";
    X509Certificate[] certchain =
      (X509Certificate[])request.getAttribute(certAttrName);
