Remove port 8443 from URL? 1

[dforbu]

I'm upgrading a server, I have Apache 2 and Tomcat 4.1.31 set up and serving SSL and non-SSL using the URL's:

https://www.mydomain.com:8443/servlets/myservlet

works great. What I need to do is get rid of the port number from the URL, so I can reach the same servlet with

https://www.mydomain.com/servlets/myservlet

I beleive this is connector related? I can't figure out what I need to do to configure this correctly. I need to run all servlets over SSL, none over a non-SSL connection.

I have mod_jk2.so compiled and in the modules directory with all the other mods.. This is running on linux, Fedora Core 3.

Well is you use Apache2 to handle all requests for http and https (ports 80 & 43) and then use the JK2 connectors to pass requests for JSP/Servlets to Tomcat, then you don't need to run Tomcat on port 8080 or 8443 at all - you just let Apache handle the specific protocols with the client, and Apache just talks to Tomcat via JK2.
