I have an existing web-application ( uses JSP and servlets ) that does not use SSL. Now, I want to use SSL in the application so that certain pages use SSL (https) and the rest dont. My question is this. In order to use SSL in my web-application do I have to change all the links on these pages to http and https as the case may be ? ( and also write code within the https refered pages to see if the protocol used was indeed https ). Please advice. I am using Tomcat 4.0. Thanks Nikhil

Nikhil, a)HTTP and HTTPS you can mix and use .No problemo.
b) but once on a secure connect ... maintain all info that way. Data is confidential right.
c) you will need to enable HTTPS .
d) you will need to get a valid certificate. e) make sure your browser supports https. f) if you are going through a proxy . make sure it is not filtered.
cheers Remesh

As Remesh said the HTTPS has to be configured in you server creating a valid certificate. To get info about how to do it in Tomcat check this out Concerning your code, you would have to change the links properly, but you don�t need to write code within the https refered pages to check the protocol.
