Proxying Tomcat with HTTPS
May 12, 2010
If you proxy tomcat using HTTPS, and you're providing externally visible (in our case jibx-soap) web services, then you need to tell tomcat to offer the WSDL using https and the correct port.
The default connector in server.xml is:
<Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1" connectionTimeout="20000" redirectPort="8443"/>
You need to add scheme of https and proxyPort of 443.
<Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1" connectionTimeout="20000" redirectPort="8443" scheme="https" proxyPort="443"/>
This will mean that the WSDL will change to show the correct URL, with https and port 443.
