So I want to test the sync 2.0 functionality on OpenMRS 1.11.x (As the module is specified to be compatible with 1.11.3). Among other modules it requires Atomfeed 1.0.12. Unfortunately running the module throws the following exception.
ERROR - Listener.contextInitialized(188) |2019-06-19 11:36:41,386| Got exception while starting up:

Examining the above stacktrace indicates that this line is the culprit. Looking at this xml bean initialization code I don’t see how the applicationContext property is set. I even went hunting for any call to ServiceContext.setApplicationContext() in the code base without success.
At this point I am not sure what I am dealing with here. Could someone who understand this point me to the right direction?
Also if there is any workaround to avoid this problem I am more than happy to listen.
Environment
Openmrs: v1.11.6 running using Openmrs SDK
