The following exception is thrown when trying to open a JSP page present in the
Webapp that send
data to the browser with mimetype of Excel(application/vnd.ms-excel).

Note that there is no exception thrown if JSP is kept outside webapp

Also this exception is seen for IE browsers only.

Not getting any clue of the exception.

Could somebody help me on this to solve the problem?

I would double-check the web.xml security data to make sure it is all
formatted correctly with the correct values. It is possible that the
incoming request is corrupt (i.e. not perfect) as well. However, whatever
the problem is, Weblogic should not be blowin up like that. You need to send
this report to sup...@bea.com.

Peace,
