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.

I hope the populating of the cache is done programmatically, rather than
by making connections, because AFAIK the Context won't start serving
pages until it's finished starting up.

You could have a race condition if you're using a listener or a servlet
init() method, if your populating starts before the pages are available.
