WebLogic Server 10 : Error 403--Forbidden

Error 403--Forbidden
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.4.4 403 Forbidden

The server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it. Authorization will not help and the request SHOULD NOT be repeated. If the request method was not HEAD and the server wishes to make public why the request has not been fulfilled, it SHOULD describe the reason for the refusal in the entity. This status code is commonly used when the server does not wish to reveal exactly why the request has been refused, or when no other response is applicable.

I hit this error immediately after deploying and starting the application. The error is quire eloquent, but in my humble opinion, is not very clear about the reasons for the error.

I clicked on the "Testing" link for the application & simply clicked on the "Test Point" URL mentioned on the page :-

http://10.177.226.140:7001/webapp1

I worked on this for sometime & then it hit me :-

I have to supply the complete URL for my JSP.

I tried the complete URL & it worked.

http://10.177.226.140:7001/webapp1/First.jsp

I am just posting this for future reference to newcomers like me.
