How can my applet communicate with servlet via HTTPS?

hi all,

I'm using jdk1.4.2_03. Tomcat 4.1.27/29.

My applet used to communicate to serlvet/JSP via http protocol. However, I wish to apply SSL in my tomcat standalone. Is there any implication towards my existing applet to servlet codes?

For example,

URL servletURL = new URL("http://www.myhost.com/Shopping");

// open connection between applet and servlet

URLConnection servletConnection = servletURL.openConnection();

servletConnection.setDoOutput(true);// allow connection do output

servletConnection.setDoInput(true);// allow connection do input

servletConnection.setUseCaches(false);

servletConnection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/octet-stream");

ObjectInputStream input = new ObjectInputStream(servletConnection.getInputStream());

resultset = (Vector)input.readObject(); //get Object from Servlet

input.close();
