Tomcat and SSL



I am attempting to set up my standalone Tomcat to test SSL connection in
anticipation of setting up client X509 certificate authentication.  I am
using Tomcat version 4.1 and JDK 1.4  I am using the following code in the
server.xml file (which is already there, just uncomment it).  When I attempt
to run Tomcat after doing this, the console window starts then just shuts
down.  

<!-- Define a SSL Coyote HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8443 -->
   
          <Connector className="org.apache.coyote.tomcat4.CoyoteConnector"
               port="8443" minProcessors="5" maxProcessors="75"
               enableLookups="true"
	       acceptCount="100" debug="0" scheme="https" secure="true"
               useURIValidationHack="false" disableUploadTimeout="true" >
      <Factory
className="org.apache.coyote.tomcat4.CoyoteServerSocketFactory"
               clientAuth="false" protocol="TLS" />
    </Connector> 

I checked the jsse.jar file.  According to O'Reilly "Tomcat.." this jar file
should be in the java_home/jre/lib/ext directory, but I found it one level
up .../jre/lib  I actually copied this file into both directories with no
obvious result - good or bad!

Does anyone have any experience in setting this up?  Is it possible to do
running Tomcat as Standalone?  Please advise!
