Oracle AS 10gR2: create new oc4j instance supporting ssl/https

Question

hi,
i've got an oracle application server 10.1.2 (infra and midtier).
in the midtier i want to add a new oc4j-instance which is possible via oracle enterprise manager 10g. after i've created the new oc4j-instance and deployed a war-file ("myapp") i can access a jsp of the deployed application with "http://myserver/myapp/test.jsp". now i want to enable ssl/https for my new oc4j-instance.
i did the following steps according to the manual (http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/web.1012/b14013/configssl.htm):
1) created certificate with keytool
2) added secure-web-site.xml (new oc4j-instance)
3) modified sever.xml (new oc4j-instance)
4) restarted new oc4j-instance
my test.jsp is still available with "http://myserver/myapp/test.jsp", but when i try to access it with "https://myserver/myapp/test.jsp" i get an error that the resource is not found. strange that when accessing test.jsp with http it is searched in the folder of my new oc4j-instance (%ORACLE_HOME%/j2ee/oc4jnew/...), but when i want to access the page through https the server looks for the jsp in the default oc4j "home" (%ORACLE_HOME%/j2ee/home/...).
what's the reason for that an how can i correct it?
regards,
matthias

You need to secure the HTTP Server and not the OC4J, remember that HTTP and WebCache are your frontends for any presentation layer, you need to modify ssl.conf and webcache in WebCache Admin page (in EM Console) to make them use ssl ports, as well as you want to use url with no port, you need to use port 443.
