I found now two possibilities: - Creating a class derived from ServerServlet, overriding destroy(), and invoking the new class from Tomcat, instead of ServerServlet. - Overriding stop() from the Application class. Overriding seems to be simpler, as it does not require a new class. What is the preferred method for doing some cleanups before shutting down in a container? Do both approaches have the same effect, or is there a difference? Thanks, Hannes
