Restlet client connecting to server with self signed certificate

I have a restlet client that needs to connect to a server with a
untrusted cert.  Other parts of my application need to connect to
servers with trusted certs.  I tried setting the trustStore in my client
as follows, but once I did this it broke HTTPS calls to servers with
trusted certificates.  I'm assuming because my custom keystore is
missing all the default cacert entries.

System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore", new
File(ccdResourceKeystore).getAbsolutePath());
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword",
ccdResourceKeystorePassword);

Is there a way to have this client use a provided keystore and
everything else in my app use the standard jre cacert?  I don't really
want to muck with the jre provided keystore if possible, I would like my
client to just work if I ever decide to update the jre, or deploy on a
different server.  Is the same logic that applies to a restlet server
supposed to work with a client?

Series<Parameter> parameters = client.getContext().getParameters();
parameters.add("sslContextFactory",
"org.restlet.engine.security.DefaultSslContextFactory");
parameters.add("keystorePath", "blah");
parameters.add("keystorePassword", "blah");
parameters.add("keyPassword", "blah");
parameters.add("keystoreType", "JKS");
