I think that all the others problems I had were related to this
configuration.
Anyway, I had an issue with data saved in the application scope which
after the user switched from http to https was not anymore available,
and now I understand why.
If you don't mind I'd like to ask a couple of questions more about
Tomcat configuration and the reasons of why often is associated with
Apache http
1. You mentioned about Apache modules which webapp may need. Excluding
php, are there any other useful modules which are not available using
Tomcat and Java technology?
2. I'm a programmer, and not an expert of SSl encryption and
certificates, but is it true that to each network card or IP address can
be only associated one certificate?
Thanks

back to my problem: I discovered that the kindly

had configured two tomcat instances, one working
with apache connector
for the normal http request and the other on a
different port for the

directory, but
apparently on the one set for the ssl, reload
attribute was disabled for
some how. In another words it means that each time I
reloaded the tomcat
I only did it for the http connection.
Not sure why he had two instances for HTTPS vs HTTP.
Apache filters out the encryption and passes off to
Tomcat, so you should only have had to have Apache
with the certificate installed, one tomcat instance
(or multiple workers for session sharing), and there
you go. Bad configuration.
I have to say that I didn't have an easy life with
Apache http connector
and Tomcat, especially for what regards ssl. I
believe that for future
I'll opt for using tomcat as standalone webserver
which to serve html
pages too, instead to lose working days again.
Yes if you are not going to use any Apache modules for
anything it is a good option to just use Tomcat. I
have a server running pure Tomcat, and I've had no
problems, though once you have the connector and SSL
setup for Apache there really isn't anything different
from a plain install. What problems have you had
really?
