apache ssl or tomcat ssl?

[Fred Blaise <ch...@madpenguin.org>]

Hello 

Tomcat newbie over here.. I was wondering.. I have my apache server set
up to handle SSL (443) and my tomcat (5.0.28) as well on port 8443.
Is there any reason why I should use the Tomcat SSL, whereas I already
have apache SSL?
Only thing I see at the moment is that some places (like my company)
block outbound ports, so I am able to get to my 443 port, but not 8443.

Thanks.

I believe you can switch ports on either server as you wish, but I
would think apache would serve your ssl requests/responses faster. 
You could probably use ssl on either and pick a different port.  BTW I
imagine it's also possible to have apache proxy your ssl connections
to tomcat; but that's probably OT here.  I'm a newbie too.
