Hi

> OK what if I register the domain to point to our companies proxy server ip
address and then have the proxy server "URI forward" to
https://myMachine:8443/mySSLApp/logon.jsp ?

Not exactly, but similar.
Main precondition: Your proxy must be reachable from the outside world -
which is usually not the case.

Do you want to access the application from the web with http or https?

IF you need only http (from outside), your proxy should have no difficulcies
forwarding that traffic to your tomcat, which could then run http (no s
here) on port 8443.

IF you need https (from outside), it is NOT enough to forward a port, but
that proxy could then do the redirect to https://youraddress. Furthermore
that proxy would need to accept https connections [and will need your
certificate for this] and forward that query to your tomcat. For this
forwarding you could once again use http because that traffic would be
inside your company. You could also use https from your proxy to tomcat, but
that would make things more complicated since the proxy would need to act as
ssl client.

See, that you usually cannot forward https requests without decoding and
reencoding them first. [Some exceptions, if there are no other things
running on https in the same proxy]
