If you want to encrypt the entire site, it is a good idea to use Apache for SSL.
That way you don't have to worry about it in the code.

Does anyone have any comparison facts or opinions on the difference in
running SSL in apache vs. SSL in tomcat (Java)? We're running on Sun boxes
and using JDK 1.4.1 if that matters (other than JSSE is built-in).

Most of our sites are dynamic, but we are currently using a web server for
authentication and SSL encryption (the whole site, not just part of it) and
a few static pages. We are required to password protect and encrypt the
entire site. I am tempted to do away with our web server, but am a little
nervous about doing computationally intensive stuff with Java and what the
performance would be.

I will have to use JNDI Realms to authenticate to our LDAP server also, but
I do quite a bit with JNDI already and am a bit more comfortable with that
issue.

Thanks for any insight.
