I need to run a simple XML-RPC server and I like the Apache XML-RPC approach since it lets me write in Java. The fact that it includes a lightweight HTTP server is also nice since I have no need for any other web services on this machine. However, I need SSL and I don't see a way to easily make HTTPS work.
I've made progress by running and Apache Web Server and installing mod_ssl into it. I want to then hand off all my reqests to Apache XML-RPC. Can someone tell me what module I need to install to do this hand-off? I was hoping to hand it directly to the Apache XML-RPC server running on port 8080. Or do I also need Tomcat to get servlet capability and then need to run XML-RPC under that? Or, better yet, can someone suggest an easier way to get this going? Using the Apache Web Server for just SSL seems like overkill. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated. Devon
