Problem deploying web application on WLS 8.1

Question

Hi,
When I try to deploy a web application on weblogic 8.1 it comes back with success.But
trying to access it or testing it through admin console gives me the following
erors -
403 - Forbidden or
404 - Not found
Here is what I am doing
My web application is in a war file called paypluscls.war that I've saved inD:\bea\user_projects\domains\mydomain\applications
folder. My weblogic.xml reads like this:
<weblogic-web-app>
<virtual-directory-mapping>
<local-path>d:/bea/user_projects/domains/m
<url-pattern>/paypluscls/*</url-pattern>
</virtual-directory-mapping>
On deploying the application I get success message, but when I try running it
using the following in my browser : http://127.0.0.1:7001/paypluscls i get 403
forbidden error
and if I try http://127.0.0.1:7001/paypluscls/index.htm , i get 404 file not found
error. Please note that index.htm is present in my paypluscls.war.
What am I doing wrong? A quick response will be highly appreciated.

Answer 1

Define a context-root element in weblogic.xml
<weblogic-web-app>
<context-root>paypluscls</context-root>
</weblogic-web-app>
Get index.htm with url:
http://127.0.0.1:7001/paypluscls/index.htm
