Hi Gerald,
If you're using Tomcat (or another servlet container that supports
the JK protocol) this is quite easy to handle. First you need to set
up two virtual hosts in your Apache config, a regular host listening
on port 80 and an SSL host listening on port 443. Each of those
virtual hosts is set to use mod_jk to forward to your Tomcat
instance. By using mod_jk, all of the port stuff goes away from your
URLs. Apache handles all the SSL stuff so Tomcat doesn't need to do
it. And you should require no code changes, the scheme binding will
just work.
Hope that helps

Hi !
My first project at work I tried to use Tapestry for was canceled
because of deadline constraints and some https-issues I could not
solve at that time.
Ok, so I went back to Tapestry in my spare time - I think this
framework is absolutely great. I want to use it for projects at work.
And now (getting around the Login-Page :) ) time is come to
implement secure connections again :(
And I still have absolutely no idea, how to do this.
The 'scheme' binding used on links doesn't work for me - so there
is no build in support for https in my point of view. Kent Tong
gave me some hints at that time (building an own LinkRenderer) but
I gave up because it got to complicated.
Why does the included scheme binding not work for me ?
Examples:
Tomcat on local machine, port 8080. The link rendered when using
https-scheme looks like:
https://localhost:8080/myApp/my.page :(
Using Apache as a proxy running on port 80, forwarding to localhost
on port 8080, the link looks like:
https://mydomain:80/myApp/my.page :(
When using an own LinkRenderer I could solve this problem - but
then I have to use this Renderer on all links on my site - not to
comfortable.
So for me, Tapestry doesn't do the job (maybe there is a solution I
am not aware of - so please tell it to me :) ).
Currently my planning is to move all secured pages in /WEB-INF/
secure and use Apache as an proxy to forward this path to https
(anyone aware of a source for downloading Apache binary with
included ssl-support for Windows ? :) ).
But I am almost sure, that there is a solution out there.
So it would be great, if anyone could give me some hints (links or
keywords) how to implement https 'the clever way' :)
Many thanks !!
Gerald
