One simple way of doing this is to have a participant step that represents that waiting period and assign it the admin user. This is how the scheduled activation workflows handle this issue. The first step in the workflow is a process step - in your case it would fire off the request to the web serv...

At what point are you getting a null object, there are multiple points where you are doing a null check. If you are getting a null resource object in your first null check then the likely reason is that your path to the resource is incorrect.

If Scott's suggestion to use the JCR doesn't work for you solving this problem is really more of a Java issue than a AEM on. If you create and OSGI service to handle searching the data you could unmarshall the file on system start up, store the unmarshalled object in a local variable of the service,...

I would say that your proposed architecture is not AEM's sweet spot. The model you are describing is what is known the "bake model" or publishing. There is tool in AEM named the Static Publishing agent which is designed to support the architecture you have described, however it is not a commonly use...
