[Building Sakai] Help with Sakai trunk + RSF + Evaluations

[Kirschner, Beth]

Hi all,

I'm trying to update the evaluations contrib project to run with Sakai trunk (aka Sakai 10), and am running into the following run-time error - does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve?

2014-01-20 10:40:00,545 ERROR localhost-startStop-1 org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader - Context initialization failed
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'validatorCompostor' defined in class path resource [conf/rsf-config.xml]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.NullPointerException

I've also appended the full traceback below.

Thanks,
- Beth
