Convert Http request to https in servlet/jsp ?

[Prabhat Ranjan]

How can we convert http request to Https in servlet or jsp ?

Moving to our Servlets forum.

What do you mean by "convert"? An HTTP request is an HTTP request; nothing will make it into an HTTPS request. The response to the HTTP request could be a redirect to an equivalent HTTPS URL, though. Or you could instruct the web app to do that automatically.

Prabhat, if your intention is "How to enable SSL", then for tomcat it is done by enabling the port in server.xml , if I'm not wrong. But may be container specific which you need to go through documentation.

yes you are correct. I mean to 'how to enable SSL' .

as we know https is secure connection.

Thanks

As I mentioned, please refer the container documentation. For Tomcat, it is uncommenting the section around HTTPS in server.xml and I think you need to restart the container after the change.
