Jeanfrancois, Wolfram,
Thank you for your answers. I wasn't able to get it to work with solution 3. However, I did get it to work with solution 1 - setting the security-constraint in web.xml. To recap for others, these are the steps I followed:
1. Install Sun Application Server 9
2. Set up listener on :80 (security not set, but with SSL redirect to 443)
3. Set up listener on :443 (security set)
4. Deploy Web application with additional insert in web.xml (see code below)
5. Set default web module for virtual server to that Web application
6. Voilà. Ca va bien! Merci! Requests to
http://www.myweb.com/ are now automatically forwarded to
https://www.myweb.com/.
