Thanks much for the clarification.In this case, how do I nominate the default virtual host? Is there something called default connector, such as that which may be needed if a request arrives into an unconfigured loopback address (say, 127.0.0.200)?
My second issue is perhaps more serious: is there an underlying assumption with virtual hosts that they are bound by distinct security constraints? I mean, is there an implicit assumption, for instance, that distinct virtual hosts would use distinct SSL certificates? I plan to (rather, need to) use the same SSL certificate for all vHosts.

But Connectors are nested as the Service level, not at the Engine level. The engine doc he refers you to even specifies this at the top of the page. Here is the way to do it correctly: Add a properly configured tag group to your web.xml and you can even have http requests automatically re-routed to https.

You can nest elements within an element, like this: This should allow you to have different SSL certs for each "site" (represented by each element).
