For SSLServerSockets, you just need a flag to request the client
certificate during the handshake:

http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/net/ssl/SSLSocket.html#setNeedClientAuth(boolean)

The client certificate can be retrieved from the SSLSession after the
handshake.

It is up to the server to request the client certificate, i.e. if you're
working on a client, I don't think that you can send your certificate to
the server by your own in a SSL compliant way if the server didn't
requested it.
