can't access through SSL

Hello all,

I'm trying to access a postgres database through a java application (tomcat). This is the only entry I have in pg_hba.conf

# TYPE DATABASE USER ADDRESS METHOD
hostssl all all 127.0.0.1/32 cert

and put the certicate (from /var/lib/postre...../coord/server.crt) in the cacerts under $JAVA_HOME/.......

This is my jdbc URL....
jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/testdb&ssl=true

But When I try to create a datasource on tomcat, I get the following error...
"Connection attempt failed: FATAL: no pg_hba.conf entry for host "127.0.0.1", user "progres-xc", database "testdb&ssl=true", SSL off"

Any help is greatly appreciated.
