Umm, with respect, I'd recommend finding another solution. If you start your tomcat app as root, you grant it a
great deal more than just the port it wants. If there's a problem with the app, it's no longer a potential issue just for that app, but now for everything else on the server too.
If you
really have to have it on the ssl port, run it on a high port and put in an ssh port forward (or if you have solaris 10, a native port redirect).
Another option might be to use apache as your ssl webserver with the tomcat plugin to connect back via localhost to your tomcat application.
Another point to consider: What will you do if you want to host some other ssl app on this server?

cakephp-instaweb
CAKEPHP-INSTAWEB(1) General Commands Manual CAKEPHP-INSTAWEB(1)
NAME
cakephp-instaweb - lightweight HTTP server for developing CakePHP applications
SYNOPSIS
cakephp-instaweb [-p PORT] [-i INTERFACE] [-r] [-q] [<webroot>]
DESCRIPTION
cakephp-instaweb is a lightweight web server designed for quick development of CakePHP web applications.
It is designed to be reasonably intelligent in locating your application's webroot folder: running the program from somewhere near your
application's "app" folder without specifying a webroot argument will start a small web server on port 3000 that will point at your appli-
cation.
(If cakephp-instaweb is unsuccessful in locating your application, or you wish to start the server from a different folder, you can specify
a precise application webroot location on the command line.)
OPTIONS
--port, -p
Specify which port to run on. (default: 3000)
--interface, -i
Specify which interface to run on. (default: 127.0.0.1)
--disable-rewrite, -r
Disables Apache-style rewriting of URLs. You will need to enable the BASE_URL configuration variable in app/config/core.php for URLs
to function correctly after disabling rewrites.
--quiet, -q
Make as little noise as possible.
-help, -h
Shows help message.
