Error thrown on first access of rpt after a deployment

I am facing a rather weird issue while trying to generate a report in html format the first time in a browser after a deployment on a server. The subsequent access of the report gives the report properly without any errors !!! 
 
Am not sure why this is happening. 
 
One other observation is that the GIF "Processing please wait...." which typically takes about 4 seconds to load, comes up after about 120 seconds and the error is thown after about 30 mins after the gif appears. 
 
Here is the stack trace of the error thrown on first access.

Can you give some more detail on what version of BIRT you are using and how you have it deployed?

Jason

I am using BIRT 2.5 and the birt jars are included in our application war. This war is deployed on a weblogic 10.3 server.

JasonW

Is this the default birt.war file or does it have modifications?

Jason

The birt war is exploded and included as part of our custom war. The birt war resides as a separate folder in our war. No code inside the birt war has been modified

JasonW

I believe the platform directory is hard coded in 2.5 to be the webappname/WEB-INF/platform Is that still the case? If you deploy the birt war by itself does it work? You may want to look at one of the 3.7 releases as these are just POJO deployments meaning you can just add the jars to the web-inf/lib.
