Appserver admin console fails

Question

OK, if this is not the right place to post this just point me in the right direction. I'm trying here because this fails on Solaris 10 b69 using the embedded SJSAS, but works fine on a SJSAS PE8 install everywhere else.
Scenario:
- Created a new application server domain using the asadmin command...used defaults for all but listen port and admin passwd
- Started the new domain
- Deployments into the domain from the command line work fine, as do deployements into the ./autodeploy directory
When I try to access the web admin app, the login works fine but the main page fails with the following exception:
java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: http://margam:9999/asadmin%2Fcom_sun_web_ui/dtd/pagetitle.dtd
I've been all over this thing, removed and recreated domains, but I still get the error. I assume it has something to do with the fact that there is a URL-encoded '%2F' in the URL. I don't know where this is coming from. I've tested with both IE and Firefox.
Any help is appreciated.

Here is how I solved the problem:
1.
# cd /usr/appserver/lib/install/applications/admingui/adminGUI_war/com_sun_web_ui
2.
# cp -r /usr/share/webconsole/com_sun_web_ui/dtd .
3.
Restart the appserver
There seems to be a problem with the com_sun_web_ui directory, which I think comes from the shared webconsole directory. Either the dtd files were not copied to the right place, or the adminGUI web application resolved the pagetitle.dtd to the wrong place http://host:4848/amadmin/com_sun_web_ui/dtd/pagetitle.dtd. I think it should probably be http://host:4848/com_sun_web_ui/dtd/pagetitle.dtd.
I tried to use symlinks, unfortunately, no luck there.
You can also copy other directories to make the admin gui look better.
