Right. If you use the sslservlet on the server side and the server.xml for tomcat has both 8080 and 8443, then client can select which it wants to connect to. I am pretty sure you can even use the sslservlet on the client without setting the ssl properties and will work fine connecting to the sslservlet on the sever, just need to use port 8080.
