title: Tomcat AJP request to normal HTTP
body: <p>I have a company application deployed on Tomcat 8 and another application making request to an Apache server that uses AJP ` protocol to access the application. I am new to AJP. I have created an AWS infrastructure using containers with the mentioned application (as an alternative to the described above). The problem is I want to avoid using Apache and use Amazon's ALB (application load balancer) and so far it's working, except the AJP request. The problem I am having is that when not using Apache, I do not need to use AJP anymore and I want to replace it with HTTPS. Will enabling the HTTPS connector in Tomcat do the trick? The lines in Apache configuration are:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ProxyPass               /pmaddon-a  ajp://*.*.*.*:8009/pmaddon-a
  ProxyPassReverse        /pmaddon-a  ajp://*.*.*.*:8009/pmaddon-a
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>To sum up, if I skip the Apache server and call Tomcat directly with HTTPS (with enabled HTTPS connector of course) will it have the same result as using the AJP connector as I am now?</p>
