The client only needs to deal with Apache-ssl. Apache with mod_jk
(configured correctly, e.g. the default config) will pass the SSL variables
to Tomcat, but all of the SSL handling (including server-cert) will be done
by Apache.

I have a system setup running the Apache Web Server with a self-generated
SSL Certificate for using Https. I have another system setup running
Tomcat. I have successfully connected them using mod_jk (which is great!).

I have a servlet application running and am adding another, but the second
one is a little different. Basically its a swing client that will run on
client's computers and transmit data to a servlet running under Tomcat.
I've tested it with HTTP, but am now ready to move to HTTPS and am having
some problems and confusion.

Question: Does my client software have to deal with Tomcat and SSL, or just
the Apache Web Server SSL?

If anyone uses/has used a setup similar to this, please reply.

Thanks very much,
Jeff Owens
