Apache, SSL and TOMCAT

[davea]

Hi,

 I'm confused and can't find any good documentation dealing with TOMCAT,SSL and
Apache.  I'm using a 128 bit SSL key from Verisign with my Apache web server.
I noticed in the TOMCAT's server.xml file a series of steps to be completed if
I need SSL support.  I don't understand step 1 and 3. I'm new at this so please
forgive me.  But what is JSSE and where do I added it to the CLASSPATH.  If I'm
intergrating TOMCAT with Apache why do I generate key as outlined in Step 3.
