I've received this error when I have modified web-client-config-custom.xml incorrectly.  Look at the following section of the file:   

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Advanced Search" >

Look at the types, aspects and properties to see if you've introduced an error (e.g., misspelling, malformed xml tag).
