[Building Sakai] Latest 2.7.x throw UTF-8 DB Error

[Warwick Chapman]

Ok, Steve

I recreated the DB using UTF-8 and that error is now gone.

Now I am getting:

ERROR main org.sakaiproject.util.NoisierDefaultListableBeanFactory - Failed
to preinstantiate the singleton named
org.sakaiproject.poll.logic.ExternalLogic. Destroying all Spring beans.
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean
with name 'org.sakaiproject.poll.logic.ExternalLogic' defined in file
[/opt/tomcat/components/polls-pack/WEB-INF/components.xml]: Error setting
property values; nested exception is
org.springframework.beans.NotWritablePropertyException: Invalid property
'emailService' of bean class
[org.sakaiproject.poll.logic.impl.ExternalLogicImpl]: Bean property
'emailService' is not writable or has an invalid setter method. Does the
parameter type of the setter match the return type of the getter?
