I am sorry, but I will not provide support for your company customers.
If you are just going to forward my replies to your customers and
theirs to me this will not work and I am not going to provide any more
help.

I have explained to you what this JSSE option does. stunnel uses
OpenSSL for SSL implementation and there are no special options to
support 0/n or 1/n-1 record splitting (the CBC protection), it will
happily accept both.

I really have no idea where the problem is since your description is
again vague. Please debug your own application yourself and establish
if the problem is between Java client and stunnel or between stunnel
and Tomcat server. I am unable to do this, you must do this yourself.
Capturing network traffic with packet sniffer is usually a very good
tool for debugging such problems.
