[Building Sakai] Assignment submission issue

.Hi, Will:

I couldn't find any relevant information about why those lines are left out from 2.7.x merge, which makes me think that it was due to a pure neglect.

However, those lines were also missing from r97446 merge of SAK-13789 into Unicon's branch, maybe that's related to Aaron's comment below. 

Unless I hear more information from Unicon people, I will go and add those lines back into 2.7.x, and make it consistent with trunk code.

Thanks,

- Zhen
