Uma, I have set the web.xml welcome file to index.jsp and then in index.jsp(which the user never sees) I do a <%response.sendRedirect("https://myDomain.com:8443/sslIndex.jsp");%> For your needs you could just have the user logon on the http page. On the html page set the <form action="https://www.mysite.com/Welcome.jsp">
I have been pulling my hair out over the port thing. I requested the tomcat standard ssl port be open and now I am finding out that was not a good thing. Since now the user has to specify 8443. I dont have port 80 so I cant do a www.myDomain.com redirect. Good luck.

When the user types http://www.mysite.com it should first go to the default .html page (that is using 80 port) that I have set in the welcome-file-list in web.xml file. Its working fine. But once the user logs in from the home page, he should then be redirected to https://www.mysite.com/Welcome.jsp (using 443 port). See the port difference. I do not know where to set the redirection. or should I hard code this settings in my .jsp file itself?

If I am using port 443 how can I configure Tomcat 4.1 so that when the user types in https://myIPAddress or https://myDomainName they will be directed to https://myIPAddress/myFirstPage.jsp. Thanks, Graham PS I have the web.xml Welcome-file setup with: <welcome-file-list> <welcome-file>myFirstPage.jsp</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list> Will this accomplish what I need to accomplish, or do I need to add something else. I cant test this out right now because I have all ports blocked except 8443.
