How to protect an Applet-HttpServlet-Connection with SSL
Hello,
I've programmed an HttpServlet running with Apache and Tomcat.
This Servlet is accessed by an Applet via
URL url = new URL("http://...");
URLConnection con = urlServlet.openConnection();
...
Now the question is how to make this connection secure with SSL or TLS?
(Can I keep the HttpServlet-Applet-architecture and just put some additional SSL/TLS stuff on it?)
Can anybody help?
Thanks!

Thanks Bnt,
Now my applet opens the connection like
URL url = new URL("https://...");
HttpsURLConnection con = (HttpsURLConnection) url.openConnection();
It seems the servlet doesn't react in any way. (Would have been a surprise if it did.)
So what needs to be done at the servlet side of the connection?
Is there possibly a servlet class for SSL connections?

Thats all you have to do from a coding point of view, it's like browsing the web, if you want to open a secure connection you type https in your address bar instead of http. The server handles the connection. But you do have to have SSL set up on your server, ie: have a certificate, etc...
