Hi,

The tomcat server will used to access a Java SDK which implements a
particular authorisation scheme for a bank (I can't go into too much
detail).

This set of functions will be accessed by multiple PHP servers all
running customer facing websites.  The PJB <--> Tomcat communication
will contains sensitive info (cc numbers etc.) and will actually run
over a separative back end network. But even so I would like it
encrypted just in case. It will also keep the PCI auditors happy.

Regards

Ian
