Well, I was using JDK 1.3.1, and just for fun I tried booting up Tomcat on JDK 1.4, and the problem below just vanished. It works now.
I'll report this as a bug (or at least, a request for documentation addendum) in Bugzilla, if it isn't already...

My site is already working fine on ports 80 and 443 (SSL), I've just never used this declarative security mechanism before. I have this constraint applied to page "test.jsp" for me to test the redirection. Every time I hit the page, I get a HTTP Status 500 from Tomcat (4.1.18), "The server encountered an internal error (/test.jsp) that prevented it from fulfilling this request.". When I hit the page "test.jsp" from https://, it loads just fine. Any help would be appreciated! Am I missing something? BTW Tomcat is fronted by Apache and mod_webapp. Bryan
