Java Security

hi,

I am doing a web application using tomcat server 7.0.11 which requires to be using the protocol https

So i hav followed the instructions as discussed in the below link:

http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/ssl-howto.html

I am using default SSL configuration rather than APR

but when i access the
https://localhost:8443 it is showing the following error:

"SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length.

(Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long)"

but the port 8443 is shown as opened when i checked using telnet

Any help in this problem will be very much grateful since i am in a stuck situation in development.

Thanks in advance
Manoj
