Cause

The IIS 6.0 Web Server will only serve files with registered file extensions. When a Java Viewer template Web site is loaded, IIS begins to serve a series of files and begins to process default.axl. This file is not recognized by IIS 6.0. By default, the request for this file is denied because of security concerns and the Web site fails to load completely.
