Tomcat + SSL

[taylan kuecuek <ku...@rbg.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de>]

Hallo

i am trying to develop a web application with servlets and JSPs. i want 
to use Tomcat as container. but i have some problems.

1) i need ssl but i don't know how i should configure ssl. Should i 
install Apache web server and konfigure apache to provide ssl ? in this 
case tomcat will be used
only as jsp and servlet container. or i don't need apache webserver? can 
i have ssl only with Tomcat? if yes how can i configure it

2) what is the differencies between "apache and tomcat together to use" 
and "only tomcat for these purposes to use"?

3)  i have now at http://localhost apache on port 80,
at https://localhost, ssl (por 443)
and at  http://localhost:8080 tomcat.

how should it be by a normal application which provide ssl and servlet+jsp


Thanks

Taylan

Unless you have some other pressing need for Apache httpd (e.g., load
balancing across multiple Tomcat installations), I wouldn't bother with
it.  Doc for configuring SSL in Tomcat is at:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/ssl-howto.html
and it works.

Remove (or disable) Apache httpd, and configure Tomcat to use 80 and
443:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/http.html
