Technical short answer: no.

Hi,

As I know, in order to use ssl on the tomcat, or apache you must make additional configurations regarding the webserver. Add modules and changing webserver configuration files.

If you don't have the right to make this changes you can't have ssl.

If you find a example more usefull.. If you can write a cd with Nero but without the cd-writer I guess you can make your webserver works without ssl module but with ssl certificate. 

Good luck,
viorel

I'm sure.

The problem is that there can only be one certificate per listening port 
that tomcat is listening on, and the certificate can only have one name 
at a time (unless you use wildcard certs, but this is a special case). 
There can be many virtual hosts per listening port, but only one 
certificate, and the certificate can only have one name (at the moment) 
- thus your problem.
