I have made an SSL connection to a self-signed site before. It's kind of tricky, but you need to import the SSL cert into the Java keystore. Once you do that, Java recognizes the site and the connection works just fine. You don't need the keypair, just the cert with the public key. There are directions all over the web about importing a cert into the Java keystore. I use Portecle to do mine. It give you the GUI. :) There are commands though to do the same thing.
