Yes, and in the listener I would then utilize some kind of other web client to actually perform a first request. You can use something like HttpClient or one of the command line text browsers and Runtime.exec. It would probably be easier than trying to simulate with some other means, but I may be wrong..especially if you already know what you are doing will work without having to have the extra client connection, but it would seem a lot less code to just have a config file you fill in and a client which makes a simple http web request.
