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?
