GlassFish Forbidden 403 error page

Question

I am really confused with this error and need some help.

When accessing my link the first time in IE I type in : https://something/other/test.jsp

and I'm presented with the FORBIDDEN-403 GlassFish Enterprise Server is now Presenting The Forbidden Page error page in GlassFish.

However, if I refresh this same page then I see the results of test.jsp.

I have filters in my java code and all filters are letting test.jsp let go through.

Why am I getting the GlassFish 403 error page in this scenario? and why does it go away after refresh?

Once I see results of test.jsp...If I close IE and open it again, then again this same thing happens.

Answer 1

IE is notorious for page-caching. I know this from my experiences with AJAX.so maybe when you refresh the page, it shows you the cached page.
