Also, you can setup Apache (or other webserver) with SSL and then just add the filter to send requests to /services to Tomcat. This requires no change in config on Tomcat side I believe.

Setup a keystore for client 2. Setup a keystore for server 3. Export server's public key certificate to a file and import it into client's keystore. 4. Export client's public key certificate to a file and import it into server's keystore. 5. Edit tomcat's server.xml to add a Connector for SSL - <Connector port="8443" minProcessors="10" maxProcessors="50" acceptCount="100" scheme="https" secure="true"> <Factory keystoreFile="<location>\server.keystore" keystorePass="<keystorePassword>" clientAuth="false" protocol="TLS" /> </Connector> 6. Startup tomcat and make sure it listens on SSL by pointing your browser to something like "https://<server>:8443/index.jsp". 7. Run axis client with the following JVM options - -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=<location>\client.keystore -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=<trustStorePassword> -Djavax.net.debug=true // only requried to debug -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=<location>\client.keystore -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=<keyStorePassword> 8. Make sure you are using "https:" for all URLs while using Axis client.
