JIRA Issues Macro does not display issues when "jira.search.views.max.limit" is set to "-1" (unlimited) on the JIRA side

Problem Summary

On the JIRA side, there is a configurable parameter called jira.search.views.max.limit which limits the number of issues returned within a JIRA search. If this value is set to "-1", which denotes "unlimited", then the JIRA Issues Macro will fail to render issues inside of Confluence. The max number of issues will continue to be displayed, but not the listing of issues themselves.

Steps to reproduce

1. In JIRA, set jira.search.views.max.limit to "-1" in jira-config.properties
2. Start up Confluence and JIRA
3. Create an applink so Confluence can pull in issues from JIRA
4. In JIRA, create a project and a couple of test issues
5. In Confluence, insert a JIRA Issues Macro and use an issue filter which returns multiple results
6. Save the Confluence page

Expected results

Confluence displays JIRA Issues in the JIRA Issues Macro

Actual results

The number of issues found are returned in the macro, but not the listing of issues themselves:

Workaround

• On the JIRA side, set "jira.search.views.max.limit" to a non-unlimited value (the default is 1000).
