It might solve both, actually.
I also got a blank page of results when using the newest wdk-classic 
until I added the <filter> section to the web.xml file
I was not able to compile the new version of the wdk-classic until I 
accounted for this jar. I accounted for ti by doing a cvs update to 
InstallConfig.pm

The installServlet.pl script should include this new jar in your 
classpath as part of the install process, in addition to copying it to 
the WEB-INF/lib directory.
