I can confirm that the Apache HTTPClient module is a good way to go.
In fact, it works with zero configuration. You simply give it a normal
'https' URL, and it does the right thing automagically.
It may be that you have to do some configuration of your JDK and
environment to have SSL capabilities available to HTTPClient, but I
don't think so. I don't remember ever doing that on my dev box, and I
know for a fact that my use of HTTPClient allows HTTPS URLs with no
additional fuss.
HTTPClient is an excellent library in general, as is most of the apache
stuff.
Have fun!

I see. I guess I will look into using apache httpclient or some other library

Webshpere actually takes care of outbound SSL connection by configuration (no
extra coding) that's why I got confused.
Thanks for input, Chuck.

I am refering two way SSL not just one way.
Irrelevant; Pid's statement still stands: it's your webapp, not Tomcat, that is
trying to communicate with an external server. Tomcat plays no role is such a
connection, it's entirely up to your webapp. There is nothing in Tomcat to
configure for this, since Tomcat is not involved. You'll need to use the secure
connection capabilities of the JRE or a 3rd-party library of your choice to do
the negotiation.
