I’m getting a NullPointerException when I try to connect to the server without a validator. I’ve configured this by simply commenting out the VALIDATOR element in my deploy.xml file. Is anything else needed? With this configuration, the server logs the following when the client attempts to connect:

The client is logging:

In this case, I used the BattleBoard app, but I get the same results with a simple app of my own that doesn’t specify any validation callbacks. Is this a known issue, or did I miss something in the configuration?
