I have a doubt regarding accessing the SSL port. Actually how do my JSP application will know whether webserver having the capabilities of SSL request. If it has, how do u i know the port of the service (suppose if i am in http scheme, then want to shift to https scheme, like want to redirect a page to https ). This may not be correct place to ask this question, but i thought related to tomcat stuff.
In general, your code has nothing to do with SSL. SSL is a transport layer protocol and is transparent to an application. The SSL stuff is handled by the browser and the web server, not by any of your code.
Whether something is SSL or not, assuming no port is specified on the URL, is determined by the use of "http://"; or "https://"; in the URL. When in SSL-mode (https://) the browser will pre-pend "https://some-other-stuff"; to every relative link in your pages. If you want to switch from HTTPS to HTTP, then you need to put an absolute link in your page, and vice versa.
One more doubt, in conf/web.xml i have specified the file-list order as jsp,html and htm. But when i am trying to give my url as http://localhost:8080/mywebapp, it should pick up index.jsp, if it exists , but it is directly going to index.html page. What might be the problem. I am using 3.2 under Tru64 unix.
