Setting up SSL has nothing to do with your code, as was pointed out in another topic. Setting up SSL is server configuration issue. As I know you are using Tomcat, I've moved this post to the Tomcat forum.

The only ramification to the code may be a redirect to the secure URL. But setting up SSL is a server configuration task.

Are you sure? What are you getting for https://localhost:8443 ? Check http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/ssl-howto.html

yes.
i tried to again go to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0\bin and type keytool -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA
then it ask password .when i typed changeit it says

keytool error: java.lang.Exception: Key pair not generated, alias <tomcat> already exists.

that means i did enabling ssl correct.

anyway when i type https://localhost:8443 in browser i am getting this


The site's security certificate is not trusted!
You attempted to reach localhost, but the server presented a certificate issued by an entity that is not trusted by your computer's operating system. This may mean that the server has generated its own security credentials, which Google Chrome cannot rely on for identity information, or an attacker may be trying to intercept your communications. You should not proceed, especially if you have never seen this warning before for this site.



there are two buttons.
1)proceed anyway
2)Back to safty

then second time i enterd https://localhost:8443
it highlighted the https part and there is a slash across the https part
that means is it not working?

The browser warning is because it is a 'self signed' certificate, not a genuine one. It is a warning to the user that the certificate may not may not be secure. It is fine for development use and I tend to accept my own self signed certificates but be wary of others.

what is the name of the server that you are running on? If it is 'localhost', put 'localhost'
Basically you would put in here whatever you woudld put in to the browser's address bar to get to that page, but specify https rather than http
IF you are using the default HTTPS port (443) as specified in your server.xml then you do not need to specify a port, otherwise you will need to specify a port such as 8443
https://localhost:8443/context/welcome

I still don't know what your context (web-app name) is and can't help you there.

If you look at your previous post here, you have already specified that you expect https://localhost:8443 so why not use that?

Anarkali, I would suggest you to start from the beginning.

1) Make you that know what does “Cannot find server or DNS Error” means
2) Make sure that you configured SSL properly, check http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/ssl-howto.html or similar page for your Tomcat version
3) After you successfully completed the steps 1 and 2, your code below should work for http://localhost:8080/Z_MyWeb/ and https://localhost: 8443/Z_MyWeb/
4) The very last part would be to enforce SSL for you application
