Hardly. The problem with a Web application is that it is fully works on HTTP requests from the client sides. If you try to listen, how it could be responsive to the request? If you use a separate thread (which is always done for listening), think about life time of the application code. It is fully executed between each HTTP request and HTTP response. In other words, a Web application model is not suitable for such things.

I would advise to consider creating a Web service, which has a very different life cycle. With a service, you can listen, of course.
