Enable SSL in tomcat without using keystore - eclipse

Question

I am newbie to server side and am trying to setup ssl in tomcat.I got an error when trying to access https://localhost:8443.
I am able to access the http://localhost:8080.
I need to enable ssl in tomcat without using keystore but have to use openssl.
Used the following commands:
openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -days 999
openssl x509 -outform der -in cert.pem -out cert.crt
In server.xml, added
<Connector
port="8443" maxThreads="200"
scheme="https" secure="true" SSLEnabled="true"
SSLCertificateFile="/root/keyTest/cert.pem"
SSLCertificateKeyFile="/root/keyTest/key.pem"
clientAuth="optional" SSLProtocol="TLSv1"/>
Server.xml
