ProductManager.getRandomSpecial always returns null

[fizzlepop]

Hi,

I have 4 products with a special price configured. There is no expiration date for the special price.  In the KonaKart Admin, I can do a Product search for "Specials Only", and my 4 products are returned.

The KonaKart configuration parameter "Selection of Products on Special" is set to 10.

However, in my JSP where I am trying to display a random special, the call to ProductManager.getRandomSpecial() returns null.  Is there something else that I need to configure, or is there something I am doing wrong?

<bean:define id="kkEng" name="konakartKey" type="com.konakart.al.KKAppEng"/>
<bean:define id="prodMgr" name="kkEng" property="productMgr" type="com.konakart.al.ProductMgr"/>

<bean:define id="special" name="prodMgr" property="randomSpecial" type="com.konakart.appif.ProductIf"/>
<%=special.getName() %>


The call to getRandomSpecial returns:

Random Specials should work after a standard installation. Have you by any chance done some customizations?
