Embed Tomcat-7 to run only in https

Question

I want to run embedded tomcat that uses only HTTPS (8443). I do not want 8080 port to be used at all. Any idea about ?

    Connector httpsConnector = new Connector();
    httpsConnector.setPort(httpsPort);
    httpsConnector.setSecure(true);
    httpsConnector.setScheme("https");
    httpsConnector.setAttribute("keystoreFile", appBase + "/.keystore");
    httpsConnector.setAttribute("clientAuth", "false");
    httpsConnector.setAttribute("sslProtocol", "TLS");
    httpsConnector.setAttribute("SSLEnabled", true);

    Tomcat tomcat = new Tomcat();
    tomcat.getService().addConnector(httpsConnector);
    tomcat.setPort(8080);
    Connector defaultConnector = tomcat.getConnector();
    defaultConnector.setRedirectPort(8443);

    tomcat.setBaseDir(".");
    tomcat.getHost().setAppBase(appBase);

    StandardServer server = (StandardServer) tomcat.getServer();
    AprLifecycleListener listener = new AprLifecycleListener();
    server.addLifecycleListener(listener);

Thanks

You would have to remove the connector defined in [tomcat-dir]/conf/server.xml which binds it to 8080 and have a separate connector for HTTPS.
