I'm attempting to break down each of my individual problems into separate
posts, hoping that makes it a little easier to address each issue.
This error appears in my catalina.out even though my webapp works properly.
Any suggestions on what would cause this error? I checked the line
indicated by the error and it is "byte[] certData = certString.getBytes();"
It appears this has to do with my security certificate which is specified in
my httpd.conf file. Although my app works, I am concerned that this could
mean a security issue and if that is the case then I need to get this
resolved.

I compared the time I got this message to other logs. No error messages in
other logs, but this error gets logged at the exact same time that control
leaves apache and I pull up my first page in my tomcat webapp.
Taking the advice provided on a previous post some time back, I have not
made any changes to Tomcat config regarding SSL. I was told that since I
have SSL configured on Apache, I wouldn't need to make any settings in
Tomcat since it is not a standalone server. Any suggestions?
Thanks all!
