So, your unit tests would verify the configuration is read from 
intended source (possibly mocked) and then supplied to the 
HttpClient.  Of course you can't protect from human error like 
supplying wrong configuration in production environment, but that's 
system administration task.

I've already suggested the test service could be implemented as a 
simple servlet [1].  Depending on what this servlet is expected to 
do - it might be not that simple.  Do you need help with:

1. Creating a servlet;
2. Implementing the business logic of the servlet;
2. Packaging it as web application/module;
3. Deploying it in a servlet container;
4. Setting up an application/servlet container.

?
