mod_ssl/mod_webapp/and SSL

I'm trying to secure my web application via apache's SSL functionality. I have apache sitting in front of Tomcat, and the two are comminucating via mod_webapp. Things appear to be set up correctly as I can access my entire application with https.

However, as soon as I add

<user-data-constraint>
<transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee>
</user-data-constraint>

I get a null pointer exception whenever I try to access my web application.

The line where the exception occurs looks like this:


int redirectPort = request.getConnector().getRedirectPort();

Looks to me like the request object is returning a null??
