Hi,
I am trying to setup a tomcat web app in a hosted environment. The hosted environment uses apache and virtual hosts to pass requests for certain domains onto tomcat. I want tomcat to handle the ssl instead of having apache decrypt and pass the http request to tomcat. Do I need to use a connector in order to accomplish this or can I do it through strict apache configuration?
I initially tried mod_proxy which didn't tell tomcat about the ssl nature of the request and since I am using an http to https redirect in tomcat an infinite loop ensued.
I also tried mod_jk which worked but resulted in really bad performance problems that disappeared when I took away mod_jk.
Can the connectors work and pass ssl requests unmodified to tomcat?
Currently running
apache 2.2.4ssl with tomcat 5.5.23 and used mod_jk 1.2.21
Thanks for any help.
