Jira crashes with 'Multiple fields representing property "link"' when using REST module

Issue Summary

This is reproducible on Data Center: (yes)

When an app provides a REST endpoint through the REST Module under some conditions, including but not limited to

• Securing a REST endpoint with @AdminOnly and when the end point is accessed with a non-admin user

Jira crashes.

Symption include

• Apps are not initialised - this is non-deterministic
• Endpoints return HTTP 500

This is caused by the code in *com/atlassian/plugins/rest/atlassian-rest-v2-api/7.2.0/atlassian-rest-v2-api-7.2.0.jar!/com/atlassian/plugins/rest/api/model/Status.class* which is a bug in Data Center Platform 6.5.3 which and is fixed in newer versions of Data Centre Platform 6.5.x.

package com.atlassian.plugins.rest.api.model;
...
@XmlRootElement
public class Status {
    @XmlElement
    private final Plugin plugin;
    @XmlElement(
        name = "status-code"
    )
...

    @XmlElementWrapper(
        name = "resources-created"
    )
    @XmlElement(
        name = "link"    // <================ DUPLICATE !!!!!
    )
    private final Collection<Link> resourcesCreated;
    @XmlElementWrapper(
        name = "resources-updated"
    )
    @XmlElement(
        name = "link"    // <================ DUPLICATE !!!!!
    )
    private final Collection<Link> resourcesUpdated;
...

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create an app that provides REST endoints
2. Secure an endpoint with @AdminOnly
3. Access the endpoint with a username/password that doesn't have admin access

   curl -u bob:1234 -H 'accept: application/json' "http://localhost:8080/rest/myapp/1/admin/foo"
   

Expected Results

The endpoint returns HTTP 403.

Actual Results

The below exception is thrown in the atlassian-jira.log file:
