i assume, this error occurs on the server-side.

yes, you would have to create your (self-signed) certificate to have ssl working.
for debugging purposes, you could try to access a simple html-page from the tomcat via ssl (and a browser).

check the tomcat or even the www.modssl.org faq.

As the exception message claims, the problem seems to be a missing certificate. SSL is based on certificates and you can't use SSL without one.
