Client-Cert auth TLS handshake renegotiation weakness

Hi,

In light of the recent findings on client-cert auth
http://www.links.org/?p=780
https://svn.resiprocate.org/rep/ietf-drafts/ekr/draft-rescorla-tls-renegotia
te.txt , etc.

I assume this group has experts who might also know how can I tell my Java 5
(/Tomcat) not to use TLS renegotiation?

Any hints would be highly appreciated (apologies for being slightly
off-topic).

   Ralf

P.S.: See also Eric Rescorla on http://www.educatedguesswork.org/ "The most
practical defense on the server side is to restructure the site so that
requests which require client auth are redirected to a different address or
port which always requests a certificate and itself refuses
renegotiation."...
