Yury,
did you try to refresh the full web-page (Shift-F5) that hosts the RHQ UI?
If so, did that work for you?

GWT is using sort of a session to talk to the backend and when the server is
restarted and the old session is invalid. RHQ now depends on that session for its security model.

We will try to better detect a restart of the server and provide a more helpful message.

author:  Jirka Kremser - jkremser
message: [BZ 970181] - RHQ doesn't work after restart with open GUI in web
         browser. - if the server restarts at the background, the
         session id is lost on the server therefore we can't allow the
         logged user to continue sending the requests without a new
         AuthN. It would be a security risk to allow it. Now, if the
         server restarts the UI requires the new log in (the login form
         is displayed).

Bulk closing of 4.10 issues.

If an issue is not solved for you, please open a new BZ (or clone the existing one) with a version designator of 4.10.
