How do you start a java servlet over https?

Question

I am trying to run a servlet on tomcat in eclipse. When i do run on server, the servlet runs and provides me with a link like follows:

\"http://localhost:8443/AuthServe

Answer 1

If you want to be sure to use the https protocol when you send request to that servlet you need to change the WEB-INF/web.xml file in your web application. In your case add this configuration params:

    
        AuthServer
        /Server
    
    
        CONFIDENTIAL
