Did you do the full SSL setup on Apache? You can't just switch from http to https without doing all the configuration and having a SSL virtual host setup.
RE: your question, yes, it is possible to use SSL, many people are doing so. If you can be more specific about what you've done and what error you're getting, perhaps we can be of more help.

Hi Forum,
Is it possible to run/navigate to a servlet via an SSL connection? I have Apache and Tomcat 4.x installed in RedHat 7.x and I can navigate (with IExplorer) to a test servlet (which sends a hello message to standard output) with the following call: http://<server <http://<server> ip>:8080/<context>/servlet/<name of class>
But if I use https instead of http the servlet does not run. I have tried to change the port to 43 and 8443 without success. Apache and Tomcat were installed with their defaults settings so I am not sure if Tomcat is running as stand alone or not.
Thanks in advance for your response.
