Switching from HTTP to HTTPS in an Application

[Kalvar, Kirk]

Where can I find some examples of switching an application from http to
https?  I've got Orion running Sun's JPS 1.0 with http and https but needed
some guidance.  I  think it would be reasonable once they log into the
application it would be in secure mode from then on, but I've also heard
others just secure individual pages.

Thanks in Advance,

Kirk:

I faced this same issue.

I ended up using  "response.sendRedirect( )" and composing
the necessary absolute URL through various string manipulations
(i.e. need absolute so that the URL can begin with https://).

Would really be nice to see a better method.
