How to run a servlet when an application or Tomcat is stopped

I know that you can use load-on-startup to run a servlet when an application is started. Is there a way to specify that a particular servlet (or java class) is to be run when (a) the application is stopped, and (b) when Tomcat is shut down (or will shutting down Tomcat automatically trigger (a))?
