Cause

The cause for this is due to a formatting issue within the VLS configuration for the connector class.

Current Skype Config:

<connector_class>com.plateausystems.elms.framework.vle.impl.
SkypeConnector
< /connector_class>

Current WebEx Config:

 <connector_class>com.plateausystems.elms.framework.vle.impl.
WebExConnector</connector_class>

Resolution

Please update the Skype configuration to:

  • <connector_class>com.plateausystems.elms.framework.vle.impl.SkypeConnector</connector_class>

Please update the Webex configuration to:

  • <connector_class>com.plateausystems.elms.framework.vle.impl.WebExConnector</connector_class>

Once the above is corrected, you should not be seeing the error.
