How do I generate a self-signed certificate and import it into the truststore using apis?

Hi,
How do I generate a self-signed certificate and import it programatically using apis?

Would CertificateFactory.getInstance("X.509").generateCertificate() generate the certificate?

How do I import the generated certificate into the trust store via api?
I cannot use the commandline tool keytool.
But the commandline equivalent would be
keytool -import -v -trustcacerts -alias serveralias -file server.cer -keystore cacerts.jks -keypass changeit -storepass changeit

Thanks
Jamie

Java

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
