Don't think so. Apache takes on the connection and therefore is in
charge of the SSL handshake. So you will have to confiure apache to
support SSL.
They only way to make tomcat handle the handshake is to make it
directly available to the browser. But guess you allready kind of
suspected it :)

Is there any way to have the Tomcat with SSL and a front-end Apache, wich

I mean tomcat should serve the certificates and do all the ssl, apache only
Actually I believe its the opposite. Apache serves the certificate the
communication between Tomcat and Apache shouldnt be public anyway.

Apache makes the SSL handshake and passes any client certificate to
Tomcat. Any servlet sees that like it came directly from Tomcat.
