Yes, you can.

Firstly, you need to configure Tomcat to include an SSL HTTP connector on
port 4433.

Secondly, you need to create a servlet that accepts GET and POST and writes
the incoming data stream to a database or file or whatever.  This servlet
needs to be installed in the "xcc" context and have a URL mapping from "/"
to the servlet (this is done in web.xml).

This will then receive the documents that are sent and capture them for you.
