You can have tomcat automatically make redirects to https ( and whatever port is configured in the "redirectPort" attribute of your
http Connecter - 443 usually ), you can add some constraints in web.xml. Try this altered for whatever directories you want to be
https only :
 <security-constraint>
   <web-resource-collection>
      <web-resource-name>Some Directories</web-resource-name>
      <url-pattern>/secure/*</url-pattern>
      <url-pattern>/checkout/*</url-pattern>
   </web-resource-collection>
   <user-data-constraint>
      <transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee>
   </user-data-constraint>
 </security-constraint>

Beware now of issues with welcome-file-list redirects happening at the same time as this one. You can end up with situations where
tomcat sends you to https on the http port. e.g. : https://myserver.com:8080/secure.index.jsp
