Well, I'll suggest you to check openssl.org.
Then you'll be able to create a certificate with your information
in it (Manual is very clear 1->2->3). After that you can download JSSE
(javasoft.com/products/jsee (?))
and add couple of lines into server.xml file under tomcat (Also manual
clear).
Change port to 443, and it's ready to go. But, you may need to buy
certificate for the future... I don't know any free tools to
generate a certificate, so browser will not prompt you about
installation,
or that it's not trusted...
Hope it helps a bit.
John.
