That says that if you request /test/file.jpg, nginx should send the
file /ngixRoot/test/test/file.jpg.

What response do you get?

What does the log file say is happening?

What request did you make, to get the 403 response? What response did
you want to get? What does the log file say about that request?

From your mail, it is not clear to me exactly what you want.

Possibly something like

root /nginxRoot/;
location /test/js/ {}
location /test/html/ {}
location /test/images/ {}
location / {
proxy_pass http://jetty;
# and whatever else is involved in jetty configuration
}

would come close?

If not, it might be helpful if you can describe what response you
want from a request for /test/js/file.js and for /test/js/missing.js,
for example. (Or have I misunderstood, and you actually care about
requests like /js/file.js?)
