[Building Sakai] issue with externalAssessmentService

[Steve Swinsburg]

Looking through old versions of this, this code was originally in
GradebookServiceHibernateImpl.java, but its been moved to
BaseHibernateManager.java. It hasnt been wired up correctly and the setters
arent even used. There is something very wrong with this bit of code...
