Sakai 11 build success Tomcat/portal not running - Catalina Exception starting filter sakai.request java.lang.NullPointerException
<p>I trying to install Sakai 11 and Tomcat 8, using Maven 3.3.9 have followed <a href="https://github.com/sakaiproject/sakai" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/sakaiproject/sakai</a></p>

<p>Sakai compiles properly both times, Tomcat starts but error occurs when I try to access <a href="http://localhost:8080/portal" rel="nofollow">http://localhost:8080/portal</a>. Does anyone have any suggestions or past experience with this? See error logs below:</p>
