The simplest thing to do is set up the *same* webapp(s) to be accessible
via both SSL and non-SSL. All it takes to do this is to uncomment the SSL
connector entry in conf/server.xml and customize the appropriate
properties.
If you really want the sets of web apps available via SSL and non-SSL
connections to be separate, that can be done as well -- by using more than
one <Service> element in your web.xml file, like this:
<Server port="8005" ...>
<Service name="SSL Service">
<Connector ... define the SSL connector ... />
<Engine ...>
<Host ...> <!-- One per virtual host -->
<Context .../> <!-- One per web app -->
</Host>
</Engine>
</Service>
<Service name="Non-SSL Service">
<Connector ... define the non-SSL connector ... />
<Engine ...>
<Host ...> <!-- One per virtual host -->
<Context .../> <!-- One per web app -->
</Host>
</Engine>
</Service>
</Server>
The details for the properties of these elements can be found in the
Tomcat 4.0 configuration information, at:
