Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

Can anyone tell me why accessing the folder of a war deployment only results in the error message below? It seems I need to alter the access rights to that folder but the rights are identical to other folders wich work like they should. The URL is something like this:

http://localhost:8081/test_dir/test.html

The same html file works fine if put under the root folder:

http://localhost:8081/test.html

Error message:

HTTP Status 403 -
