Thank you, Chris.   You've cut it down to the crux which, in my ignorance of 
felix vs Tomcats role,  I didn't understand.  Essentially, chasing the solution 
in Tomcat is a red herring.  Looking at the apps config file, it references 
"org.apache.felix.https" several times which is a strong sign that Felix Is 
_supposed_ to handle the SLL, but it's not working as it should.  I'll go back 
to the app's developer with the problem.

No, Tomcat is not so different an animal. But you aren't using Tomcat.
You are using Apache Felix + your application + who knows what else + Tomcat 
and asking why "Tomcat" won't configure your TLS correctly.

Configuring a <Connector> in Tomcat's conf/server.xml file is fairly 
straightforward. Instead, you have decided to create a <Connector> with no TLS 
configuration and then expect Tomcat to somehow infer the /real/ TLS 
configuration information from some arbitrary file where you just happen to 
have specified the keystore path on the disk.

This is a question that YOU need to answer before anyone can offer you help 
here: is Apache Felix responsible for configuring Tomcat's TLS connector or 
not? If you don't know the answer, find someone on your team who DOES know the 
answer and I suspect you'll have 50% of the way to your solution.

This shouldn't matter.

You should pretty much never modify cacarts.
