It looks like you were using the "EV" intermediate certificates
before. This page[1] says that C3G3 certs are not frequently used
except for client certificates... is that what you've got?

When you use Java, you generally have to work with keystores. It's
just a file full of keys and certificates. Think of a Java keystore as
all of the following httpd directives mashed together into a single
binary entity:

  SSLCertificateKeyFile
  SSLCertificateFile
  SSLCertificateChainFile
  SSLCACertificateFile

Also, you have to use an "alias" that Tomcat uses (it's "tomcat") as
the alias for the certificate to actually use for the server (as
opposed to any other certificates you might have in the keystore).

There's no place to do that: the whole chain must be in the keystore,
including the CA root all the way down to your own certificate. You
may be able to get away with not having the very top-root CA
certificate... I haven't worked too much with Java keystores so it's
possible that there is a set of root, trusted certificates that are
inherited by all keystores, but there are many ways to
create/configure a ServerSocketFactory, so it's probably possible to
set one up both with or without that globally-recognized set of root
CA certs (i.e. those trusted by the JVM implicitly).

If you are getting this error in Javamelody, then you need to
configure Javamelody properly -- this isn't a Tomcat thing if web
browsers can connect properly to Tomcat via HTTPS.
