However, I see the welcome screen of Tomcat if I use http://....:8080 but not if I use https:....:8080 or any other combination of ports and http or https. Furthermore, servlets run via http://....:8080/.... , but not https://... Or http://....:8443/...
If anything, it would be https://...:8443
From this, I am concluding that Apache is set to run with http or https,that Tomcat is configured as "stand alone" -- not via ssl.
Right, but Tomcat's SSL status is irrelevant if you're using Apache and a connector. Apache and Tomcat do not "speak" SSL when communicating with each other. If you're using SSL with Apache + Tomcat, the only SSL configuration is done on the Apache side. You have to remember to add the appropriate URI mappings for your connector to the SSL virtual host in httpd.conf.
So, since I have JDK1.4.x installed, I am assuming that I just need to create the right certificates and configure the server.xml file for tomcat to enable Tomcat to work with ssl in stand alone mode. Right?
Right, but again, this is not needed if you have Apache set to do SSL, unless you want to do testing using Tomcat alone.
