Symptoms

Upgrading to JIRA v6.3.x from JIRA v6.2.x or lower with a modified seraph-config.xml file results in JIRA failing to start following the upgrade.

The following appears in the atlassian-jira.log:

Could not getRequest service: com.atlassian.jira.user.preferences.UserPreferencesResetInterceptor : java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.atlassian.jira.user.preferences.UserPreferencesResetInterceptor

Cause

The following interceptor class is being carried over to JIRA v6.3.x from the previous version in the modified seraph-config.xml:

<interceptors>
<interceptor class="com.atlassian.jira.user.preferences.UserPreferencesResetInterceptor"/>
</interceptors>

This interceptor class is no longer utilized in JIRA v6.3.x.

Resolution

  1. Stop JIRA
  2. Remove/comment out the code block specified above at $JIRA_INSTALL/atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/classes/seraph-config.xml

    Commented Interceptor Class
    <!--    
        <interceptors>
            <interceptor class="com.atlassian.jira.user.preferences.UserPreferencesResetInterceptor"/>
        </interceptors>
    -->
  3. Start JIRA
