If I do, there are other places for this that don't require hacking. They include the LifecycleListeners you can attach to Tomcat's containers, webapp ServletContextListeners, class static initializers, and the JVM's shutdown hooks. Because all these are present, I don't think your RFE is needed by a lot of people (if any, except you), so I wouldn't be gung-ho about adding it to Tomcat.
