It just helps to have someone to talk to when things go wrong but I 
think I've figured the geeky stuff out now. I'm using keytool to 
generate a keystore and a CSR. I have the redirect to https sorted as 
well (actually a simple security-constraint in web.xml does the job). 
I'm not a sysadmin really I just do what I have to to keep things 
running and I know Tomcat well as I have been using it for years. Better 
stick to what you know I guess. I focus my time and effort on design and 
development, I'm only a one man band these days and do everything 
myself, application and database design and development, server 
maintenance, security, photography, product sourcing etc etc. I don't 
use any third party stuff like shopping carts or whatever, I do it all 
myself and any time I can save on stuff like this is good for my sanity.

Anyway, there seems to be no way to avoid paying well over UKP100.00 per 
year for a certificate because of a decree from bloody Google that 'it 
shall be so'

Ho Hum
