Spring 2.0RC2 not backward compatible ?

[hanson.char]

Once I replace the 2.0 RC1 spring.jar with the one from 2.0 RC2, I got a NullPointerException.

(See stacktrace below)

Is this a compatibility bug ? It works fine with 2.0M4 and 2.0RC1 but not 2.0RC2.

Hanson,

Is it possible for you to create a JIRA bug report for this along with a copy of your configuration? I roughly know where the error lies but I need to see your config and maybe your class structure as well.
