Hello All,

I have started seeing an error when using the modules in a site, I have
redeployed the melete package in sakai, as instructed by  Mallika at
Etudes Inc. (a post I at nabble).

I created a new site, as admin, I can add the module and the contents
and view it. The options on the modules page (admin) are view, Author,
Manage,Preferences.

When I log in as a teacher, I only see 2 options, View and Preferences,
I see the content, when I select the module, I get options of Prev or
Table of Contents, I click on Prev, and it shows Table of Contents. I
click on TOC, and it shows the module when I click on View at the top
and I get an error in sakai and it is at the bottom of this message. 
(See ******)


I am getting a big dump in catalina.out, just not sure what to post




******
