SSL Error: error:1408F10B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number error when disabling ssl and enabling TLS

Question

I am trying to disable SSL on my tomcat and trying to send request for my app on TLS Port but I am getting the following Error:

Failure in POSTing request to Manager: [SSL Error: error:1408F10B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number]

Configuration I am using in server.xml is:

<Connector port="18443" protocol="HTTP/1.1" SSLEnabled="true"
            maxThreads="150" scheme="https" secure="true"
            clientAuth="false" sslProtocols="TLSv1,TLSv1.1,TLSv1.2" keystoreFile="/opt/certs/server.keystore" keystorePass="123456"
            truststoreFile="/opt/certs/server.truststore" truststorePass="123456"/>

Can anyone please tell me how should i run this on TLS?

The post request would be ulrencoded and would be somewhat like this after decoding https://:port//DataManager?a='1'?b='4'

The problem is it is working on SSLV3 but not on TLS,my question is do i need to add something extra on client side(Apache) which is on http and sending request to server(Tomcat) that is on HTTPS.

Result of running the command for checking TLSv1:

SSL handshake has read 2202 bytes and written 294 bytes

SSL-Session:
  Protocol  : TLSv1

As you can see, it uses TLSv1 successfully.

Failure in POSTing request to State Manager: [SSL Error: error:1408F10B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number]

Don't let the SSL3_GET_RECORD confuse you. Since the record formats are same or similar functions with a name containing SSL3 get also used to process TLS data. It is not clear from your question what really is going on, but you might get this kind of message too if your application tries to do a TLSv12-only request against a server not supporting TLSv12.
