Servlet tag not working

Question

Hi,
          I was using the servlet tag in my html files to call servlets, enabled by
          Server Side Includes, which was working fine with Weblogic4.03 but since
          I've migrated to 4.5.1 this is broken, has the syntax for invocation changed
          to something else from
          <servlet name="VirtualServletNameFromWeblogicPropertyFile">
          </servlet>
          Now I'm seenig some funky behaviour, also my </servlet>s are returned to the
          browser as is.
          Also, I have a servlet which is calling making calls to an ejbobject proxy,
          which returns a Serializable object, whose class file is available in a jar
          which is on the Windows NT System ClassPath. Weblogic throws a
          ClassNotFoundException, saying that this class cannot be loaded even though
          it is using the same jar file to load the EJB's from.
          In other words, I have a class file in a jar which is on the CLASSPATH,
          but Weblogic does not seem to find it.
          All this used to work with 4.03,
          help needed,
          Abhi

          Are you doing it like this?
          1. <servlet name=foo></servlet>
          like this:
          2. <servlet name=foo> </servlet>
          or like this:
          3. <servlet name=foo>
          </servlet>
          2. and 3. should work. 1. will not because of a bug -- that is, you need to
          have a space or a return before the closing tag. This should be fixed in
          4.5.2.

          Classpath stuff has changed quite a bit (for the better) in 4.5.1. -- check
          out the classpath docs, and if you're still confused, post again.
