can I secure apache to tomcat communications?

[Avery Buffington <av...@fundsxpress.com>]

Is it possible to get apache via mod_jk to talk HTTPS to the HTTP ssl
enabled tomcat connection handler?  My goal is encrypted communictions from
webserver to app server and back again.

thanks,

I think you'll find the the best choice for this is an encrypted tunnel such 
as SSH or IPSec.  Both Apache and Tomcat can talk to the clients just fine 
over an SSL connection, but not to each other.  That all happens on an 
unencrypted connection.
