Becoming a CA Authority

Can someone tell me all the steps to become a CA Authority, create a new certificate and configure tomcat to use this certificate

If you are using openssl the following FAQ should do the trick.  (It worked
for me YMMV)

http://www.modssl.org/docs/2.8/ssl_faq.html#ToC29

You should also be able to find this under the docs for mod_ssl on your
system.

Self sign your cert, and your a ca. Of course,
your clients will all get dialogs on their
browsers asking them if they want to trust your
unknown ca unless you can make them all add your
ca to their list of known ca's...
