Does snapLogic provide any sort of file listener functionality to start a pipeline?

You might want to look into the FilePoller snap. You can then use a PipelineExecute snap to kick off a pipeline.

i think fileListener is diff from filePoller. i think the filelistener feature is very important. Many integration tools (like iWay and IIB) have this feature.

Can you explain how it is different? What behavior is missing from the FilePoller?

The FileListener should be something like JMSConsumer. The FileListener processes a file only once and It need to remove out/delete the file after processed.
