Did you know that specifying GET and POST means that the other http 
methods like DELETE and PUT will not be secure?

If someone tries to access the above url pattern over http, the server
automatically redirects to a https connection.

There are many theories out there.  From personal experience, the
simplest/cleanest way to do it is with Struts + the sslext plugin.  But
even then, don't expect it to be trivial.  Run some Google searches to
find components, tutorials, articles, etc.  Those things should make
your life a little easier.

True. There should be http-method entry for each protected http
method.

 I have Tomcat 4 running fine with both http and https protocols.
 I would like to use http for serving most of the documents and
 only j_security_check (form based login) should be done over
 https. How can I configure this?


There is no way to configure this.

Furthermore, it would be unsafe to rely on this for any sort of security.
Consider the fact that the session id cookie is still transmitted in clear
text, so anyone snooping on the network could easily swipe your session id
(and thus impersonate that user for as long as the session remained
alive), even though they could not see the password because it was
encrypted.

Now I am a bit lost. Would it make sense then to have a whole
site served over https? What are the best practices of
secureing login information as well as session id cookie?

If you are concerned about someone hijacking your session, that's pretty
much the only choice.
