Between the "good" and "bad" choices, I'm guessing it'll be up to you
to decide. But a bit of common sense should make that easy :-)
And you seem to already know the answer, but just in case :
iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING 1 \
-p tcp --dport 443 -j REDIRECT --to-ports $my_tomcat_port
service iptables save
This is common practice for just about any standalone tcp server which
isn't started as root and needs to be accessed on a privileged port.
