500 HTTP Error: Invalid Session

By default JIRA administrators must login on JIRA twice to access to the administration configuration stuff.

This is second login detected by BIRT and the curren user's session invalidated and the reports running on JIRA will stop to work. Of course, this affecys JIRA administrators only. The rest of the users are not affected by this issue.

This behaviour can be fixed by:

• Following the instructions provided by Atlassian: Disable Secure Administration Sessions (Recommended for testing the app only).
• Logging again in JIRA to create a new valid user's HTTP session.

ClassCastException

After the BIRT app is updated on JIRA, the BIRT reports stop to work and error message is displayed (or not):

This affects the BIRT app 1.5.0 and below as the Axis Server was not stopped when the plugin was disabled (or re-installed) forcing to re-start JIRA.
