peer not authenticated in web service?

[still]

I've a REST web service using Spring in Java 1.7 running on Tomcat 7. I've self signed cert on my dev machine. When I try to invoke the API using rest client, it gives below error:\[code\] peer not authenticated javax.net.ssl.SSLPeerUnverifiedException: peer not authenticated at sun.security.ssl.SSLSessionImpl.getPeerCertificates(SSLSessionImpl.java:397) at org.apache.http.conn.ssl.AbstractVerifier.verify(AbstractVerifier.java:128) at org.apache.http.conn.ssl.SSLSocketFactory.connectSocket(SSLSocketFactory.java:572) at org.apache.http.impl.conn.DefaultClientConnectionOperator.openConnection(DefaultClientConnectionOperator.java:180) at org.apache.http.impl.conn.ManagedClientConnectionImpl.open(ManagedClientConnectionImpl.java:294) at org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultRequestDirector.tryConnect(DefaultRequestDirector.java:640) at org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultRequestDirector.execute(DefaultRequestDirector.java:479) at org.apache.http.impl.client.AbstractHttpClient.execute(AbstractHttpClient.java:906) at org.apache.http.impl.client.AbstractHttpClient.execute(AbstractHttpClient.java:805) at org.wiztools.restclient.HTTPClientRequestExecuter.execute(HTTPClientRequestExecuter.java:387) at org.wiztools.restclient.ui.RESTViewImpl$2.run(RESTViewImpl.java:320)\[/code\]Can any one tell me how to get rid of this error without making any java code changes?Note: I've run below command in my env already:\[code\]keytool -genkey -v -keyalg RSA -alias tomcat -keypass 12345 -storepass 12345\[/code\]Thanks!
