I am about to migrate our current instance of JIRA from Linux/Tomcat/Oracle to AIX/WebSphere/Oracle.

In order to do this, I followed all documented steps to build, configure and deploy the JIRA EAR. Initialy, I have done it for JIRA 3.0.3 and it was succesfully done.
As the current installation under Linux is an JIRA 3.1.1, I followed again the normals steps for this new release. But I encoutered the following problem :

The WebSphere Application Server starts normally. The Oracle Datasource is correctly bind.
The WEB Module starts too, and assures the creation of all Database Objects, but this start does not end correctly and WebSphere assumes that an error occured, and stop immediatly the JIRA Web Module.

I have activate log4j logs, and WebSphere Debug and Trace Log.
