What should I do to make my Java web application to use HTTPS?

Question

By default, the Java web apps that I develop runs on http.

Suppose, if I want my web app to run on https, is there something specific that I should do as a developer? Or it it totally a network-guy task and un-related to developer?

Basically I want to know the steps to host a Java web application on https.

Answer 1

You don't need any programmatic changes in your web-application, You need to configure SSL with your web/app server

• Glassfish SSL Conf
• Tomcat SSL Conf
• Jetty SSL Conf
• JBoss SSL Conf

Answer 2

It depends on what J2EE(Web Container) you are using,

But there should be no developer changes required.
